JavaHelp can run on any platform including Windows, MacOS, UNIX, Linux and Sun Solaris. When you generate JavaHelp, all the source files are saved in a subfolder in your project folder. By default, the name of the subfolder is JavaHelp, although you can change the name if necessary.
For your JavaHelp project to work properly and efficiently on any platform, include the following:
If the JavaHelp project is compressed, include the .JAR file.
If the JavaHelp project is not compressed, include all of the individual source files in your JavaHelp output folder (such as .HTM, .GIF, .JPEG, .WAV, etc.). For more information about specific files see JavaHelp source files.
The JavaHelp 1.0 or 1.1 components.
Java Runtime Environment (JRE). You can include the JRE with your Help system or users can download this from the Sun Microsystems Web site (www.sun.com).
If the JavaHelp project contains related topics buttons, ship the bsscjhrs.jar file. This file is created when you generate JavaHelp files and enables related topic buttons to work properly in the project.
