Anyone out there deploying JavaHelp for cross-platform help? WinNT + all
Unix flavours (Solaris, IBM, SGI, HP, Linux)?
I'd like to hear experiences from people who are shipping JavaHelp in "real
world" production software.
I looked at JavaHelp about 18 months ago. It worked OK at a basic level but
was slow to start up and authoring tools were non-existent. Has anything
changed in this respect?
I suspect that JavaHelp (or Oracle Help for Java) may be worth considering
for pure Java apps. But good old HTML may be an easier cross-platform
alternative in most cases.
