Re: [aperi-dev] IDVT: Installer not downloading javahelp - bug #211165

[Chris King <chriskng@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Robert,

As Dave mentioned, there is a plan to replace the JavaHelp engine with an Eclipse-based help system, which will remove jh.jar as a requirement for Aperi's online help. Information about this effort is available in the Aperi documentation plan here: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Aperi_Documentation_Plan

For Aperi R0.4, information about how to download and install the jh.jar file is located in step 4 of the "4. Install Aperi Storage Manager files" section in the Aperi installation instructions located here: http://www.eclipse.org/aperi/documentation/r4/install.php#install

Yeah, that's intentional. 
Downloading JavaHelp (jh.jar) requires one to click through a license agreement and we didn't feel that letting the autodownloader do that on your behalf invisibly was a good idea and we just couldn't come up with a maintainable way to have the autodownloader proxy the display and clicks required (can we generate or accept the agreement in a proxy?). 
The long term plan is to replace JavaHelp with Eclipse Help and be done with it. 
We are looking for resources to work on that for R0.5. Chris K. has the plan pretty well worked out.

Hi,

I started IDVT using today's build:
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/aperi/Aperi-incubation-R04-071127-140700.zip 

and it seems the Installer is not downloading JavaHelp
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=211165

Thanks,
Robert
