Help Converter

Converts help files from one format to another.

Synopsis

Help Converter is used to convert help files from one format to another. Only one conversion is currently supported: JavaHelp to Eclipse plugin. This can be useful if you are moving an existing Java application from Swing to Eclipse RCP, or if you are managing help for Eclipse Plugins using RoboHelp.

The intent is to support other help formats, I’m just not sure which ones yet.

Usage

jh2eh [OPTIONS] <javahelp.jar> <eclipse_versioned.jar>

Limitations

Javahelp

• Only Javahelp jars are supported.

• Merged help files are not supported.

Eclipse

• No context help information is generated.

General

• You must have write access to the source directory, as well as the destination directory. Hopefully this requirement will be cleared up soon, but there you have it.

• Plugins generated are compatible with Eclipse version >= 3.1.
