Central Documentation

jHelpCentral is a J2EE web application to read documentation in JavaHelp format stored on a server. It produces a help viewer comparable to the typical JavaHelp viewer but it does not require more than a web browser on the client side.

Dynamic client

Although limited to a web browser which normally allows not much dynamic client interaction jHelpCentral features a graphical tree view and full text search just as if it was running out of a Java application.

Seamless integration

Help set content can be linked with web content directly and transparently without the need for additional software. Web or intranet content can be enriched with context sensitive help or in depth documentation of content featured on respective web pages.

Simple use

jHelpCentral significantly simplyfies distribution of information. A JavaHelp document can be made available fast by just placing it in a server directory and adding a link to jHelpCentral.

Excellent performance

Especially with large documents content can be accessed immediately as jHelpCentral does not require the entire document to be loaded. The better a large document is structured into sections, subsections and chapters the faster single parts are shown while still the entire document structure can be navigated.

Instant access to help sets

With jHelpCentral existing JavaHelp help sets are accessible on the server immediately. There is no need to distribute Java or the JavaHelp API to clients. Help sets are available to all users with nothing more than a web browser once jHelpCentral is on the server.
