JavaHelp system help

Question

I'm creating a JavaHelp for our project and I'm having some issues. JavaHelp uses the following files as a convention :

• helpset file: MyHelpSet.hs

• index file: index.xml

• TOC file (table of contents) : TOC.xml

I've been searching around for tools that help generate these files for you through a wizard, but I don't know what is good or bad. Can people share their experience? I know I can manually edit the files but I'm looking for something simpler.

Answer 1

I have never had any problems managing these files myself but here are some tools you could look at. (Note I have never used any of them so cannot comment on how good they are).

• JHelpDev
• Help Authoring Tools

Answer 2

Have you had a look at http://www.pdfhelp.org which offers a free PDF based alternative?
