-------------------------------------------------------------
I'm not sure that you will be interesred, but I added merging capabilities for
my JavaHelp-like project, and also I checked that it was possible to load the
Help content from a zip or jar file with manually produced articles (not those
generated by the
[sourceforge.net/projects/docjgenerator|https://sourceforge.net/projects/docjgenerator/]
tool). Next thing I will try to do is adding a tool converting a JavaHelp
content to my own format automatically.

> 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.
