RoboHelp 2015 (JavaHelp/OracleHelp)

I started a trial of RH in order to evaluate its ability to generate JavaHelp[/OracleHelp] output. From the online documentation and from the Adobe tutorial I watched I was led to believe that there were generators for both of JavaHelp and OracleHelp. However, I don't see these output types as being available. Am I missing something?

Can anyone help with this? TIA.

Note: I have seen some vague references in the forum to JavaHelp no longer being supported, but I can't see any definitive documentation on this.

Note2: I have a large Java application that I'd like to integrate RH generated output into and I'd like this to be pure Java (having to use Web Help or HTML help and manually triggering a browser to run is a non-starter).

    Hi there

    While it's not specific to those odd output formats, see if the video below helps you sort making them available.

    Hi Rick,

    Yes, thank you, this is what I needed in order to add both the JavaHelp and OracleHelp output format generators. Thank you.

    I was able to fully generate the OracleHelp JAR file (once I found the OracleHelp download on Oracles Java download site ), but not the JavaHelp JAR file due to RH's inability to locate a JavaHelp "install directory". I'm not sure what that is since I've been unable to find a JavaHelp 2.0 "install" file to "install". I have the JavaHelp 2.0 JAR file but this seems insufficient for the RH JavaHelp generator. Any ideas on this one?

    Thx!

    Sadly, nope. Those output formats are a bit foreign to most RoboHelp users.

    Maybe another forum user will see this thread and offer some insight.

    Cheers... Rick
