NetBeans removed JavaHelp entirely under Apache due to licensing reasons. Not sure what the solution is right now, I don't remember an email actually fixing it. You can probably bundle the javahelp jar yourself and display something but I didn't look if you can hook it up instead of the proper NetBeans action/service/layer.
My plan for CoolBeans is to just re-add the javahelp module but I didn't get to it. --emi On Fri, Oct 4, 2019 at 3:28 PM Hermann Matthes <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hello, > > I try to port my (big) netbeans module suite from NB7 to NB11.
