Jan Lahoda reassigned NETBEANS-3:
---------------------------------
Assignee: Jan Lahoda
> javahelp
> --------

> Key: NETBEANS-3
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-3
> Project: NetBeans
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Emilian Bold
> Assignee: Jan Lahoda
> Labels: cleanup
>
> javahelp seems to be under GNU GPL 2 with CPE and we do use it: http://hg.netbeans.org/releases/file/5fd841261bf9/javahelp/external/jhall-2.0_05-license.txt
> We should either find a drop-in replacement for javahelp or move the help online and open a system browser for each help button click.
> This will break the stable help API used by plugins and Platform apps so we must provide some migration path for those too.
> An idea would be to allow Platform apps to include javahelp themselves instead of relying on it being present in the Platform.
