["Jacques Le Roux (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-4941?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13404699#comment-13404699 ] 

Jacques Le Roux commented on OFBIZ-4941:
----------------------------------------

Hi Tom,

I quickly reviewed your patch this morning and there are trivial things missing, I'm sure you can help:
* No license headers in some new files (ASL2, see OOTB examples for types of headers). Of course not Sun files, which will keep their own headers.
** neglect for generated files, but then they should not be put in repo but rather generated on fly
* We need to reference the Java Help System in LICENSE and NOTICE files
* I wonder if in some cases the file name "Edit Agreements.html" could not be a pb (just an intuition, neglect if you think otherwise)

Just a fast review I might have missed some points...

Ha! Re-reading you last big comment, I understand now that this needs more work... OK we will see, too much for me today...

> This is a status update just to let anyone who is interested know that this item is being worked on.
> I started out using the OFBiz structure for help docs but after a while I needed/wanted something more expressive.
> Here is what I wound up using for development:
>     Java Help System http://java.net/projects/javahelp/content
>     DocBook 5: The Definitive Guide
>     http://www.docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/docbook.html
>     http://www.docbook.org/xml/5.0/
>     DocBook XSL: The Complete Guide
>     http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/index.html
>     http://sourceforge.net/projects/docbook/files/docbook-xsl/1.77.1/docbook-xsl-1.77.1.zip
>     Help Master - FE for managing java help files. Best feature drag and drop TOC creates TOC matching file folder structure. Convenient launcher for viewing & testing. http://www.halogenware.com/software/helpmaster.html
>     XML Mind XML Editor - Free Personal Edition is far better then editing in Eclipse. download from http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/download.shtml
>     Tutorial - DocBook editing with XML Mind XML Editor. Worth going through http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/tutorial.html
>     Read Me First style guide from Sun (cost from Amazon 1 cent + shipping)
> Attached are some screen shots of the results.
> Every screen is/will be documented in a similar structure. This is as much for defining requirements and testing as for help. More work but worth it.
> The screenshots show a Java Help format generated using DocBook XSL. This will likely not be the final presentation format.
> Note the Performance Review screen shots do not match the trunk. There is a bug in update screen and I did some clean up of labels and drop-down list. There are issues like this all through the application so I did not want to get bogged down with patches at this time.
