How do I include JavaHelp with my Eclipse project?


I am writing some applications that require to have a Help Contents system tied to it. I came across JavaHelp which seems perfect for what I need.

The issue I am having is that when you download JavaHelp, it comes with its own bin folder which looks like you are suppose to use separately. However, I am pretty sure if I just copy some of the JAR files I should be able to just place them in the hierarchy in my Eclipse and use it in the project.

What JAR(s) would I need to copy so I can use JavaHelp in my application?

Update

I got JavaHelp working rather easily. I had issues with the built in Eclipse Help though. But I appreciate both of your answers!

If anyone is interested in knowing how to add JavaHelp to your project (doesn't have to be Eclipse specific), I will be more than happy to provide the answer here.


Solution

  • The JavaHelp README details the redistributable jar files that are supplied in the download. Select the jar that suits your needs and add it to your Eclipse project.
