Delivering Eclipse Help
You can provide a help system in Eclipse Help format either as a collection of individual files or in a single, compressed Java archive .jar
file. A .jar
file, similar to a .zip
file, compresses and stores a collection of files.
When you generate output for your project, ePublisher creates the Output
folder in your project folder, and then creates a folder in the Output
folder for each generated target. Then, ePublisher creates a folder named for the project itself in the target folder. For example, when you generate output, ePublisher creates the following folder structure:
<Project Area>\<Project Name>\Output\<Target Name>\<Project Name>
In this folder structure, <Project Area> is the name of the ePublisher component you are using, such as ePublisher Express
, <Project Name> is the name of your ePublisher project, and targetname is the name of your ePublisher target, such as Eclipse Help
. To deliver your Eclipse Help generated output, you can provide the complete contents of the <Target Name>\<Project Name> folder to your Java application developers, and they can determine whether to deliver the .jar
file or the individual files to application users.
