Add a HelpSet

# Adding HelpSets

Use the Add dialog box to add HelpSets to the Merged HelpSets panel in the main merge demo window.

In order to add a HelpSet, the folder or JAR file that contains it must be in your CLASSPATH. If you are running this demo under JDK1.2, you can add to the CLASSPATH by specifying a URL.

If you are running this demo on JDK 1.1 you can only add the HolidayHistory.hs HelpSet to the list. With JDK 1.1, it is not possible to append to the CLASSPATH. The folder for HolidayHistory.hs has been added to the CLASSPATH by the merge demo program.

To add a HelpSet to the Merged HelpSets list (JDK 1.2 only):

1. Enter the name of the HelpSet in the HelpSet Name text box.

   The following HelpSets are included in this release:

       doc\welcome\welcome.hs
       demos\hs\holidays\HolidayHistory.hs
       demos\hs\idehelp\IdeHelp.hs

   You can also add HelpSets of your own.

2. Enter the URL of the folder or JAR file that contains the HelpSet. If you are specifying a folder, the URL must include the "/" or "\" as the last character.

   Examples:

       file:C:\myproduct\help\ (Win32)
       file:C:\myproduct\help\helpfiles.jar (Win32)
       file:/myproduct/help/ (Solaris)
       file:/myproduct/help/helpfiles.jar (Solaris)

3. Click Add

NOTES:

- The Current Values portion of the dialog box displays the folders and JAR files available through CLASSPATH and URLs.
