Hello, Yes, I know the versions are quite old. It's a little embarrassing. Unfortunately, we didn't have the chance to update earlier in our ESA SNAP project. We were still using Java 1.8 too. So, we now want to update step by step and not with one giant leap to the latest versions. We try to get run 11.3 of NetBeans Platform with JDK11.
Now my problem. After updating the Java help is not working anymore. The default menu entry Help/Help Contents is not added to the menu. And when invoking the help manually nothing happens. Debugging revealed that in HelpCtx.display() the call to Lookup.getDefault().lookupAll(Displayer.class) to not return an implementation. I've seen this issue [NETBEANS-462] Java Help class cannot be found - ASF JIRA (apache.org)<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-462> and the last comment that dependencies to org-netbeans-modules-javahelp and javahelp are needed, which I have <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.netbeans.api</groupId> <artifactId>org-netbeans-modules-javahelp</artifactId> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>javax.help</groupId> <artifactId>javahelp</artifactId> </dependency> </dependencies> Versions are defined in the parent pom. Ther are multiple modules containing help. But even not all depend on those 2 modules at least the main help module should be shown and at least the Displayer implementation should be loaded, right?. While building the application I don't see any warning regarding the help which might indicate a problem. And when starting the app, I see in the logs that the NB javahelp module is loaded. When I try to instantiate the Displayer implementation JavaHelp directly I get a ClassNotFoundException. Which I do understand. The package is not exported. Does the HelpCtx, respectively the Lookup, have the same issue? I have found no documentation about what needs to be done differently now. I'm now a bit lost. Can someone give me a hint what I'm doing wrong. Thank you.
