Using the Merge Demo
This merge demo is included to demonstrate the merge
capabilities as they exist in the JavaHelp system.
How Merging Works
When HelpSets are merged, the TOC, index, and search
database information of the constituent HelpSets are
appended to each other to form a merged HelpSet.
Constituent HelpSets can be dynamically
removed from the merged HelpSet, even while the merged
HelpSet is displayed.
It's important to understand that
there is always a master HelpSet to which other
HelpSets are appended. For the purposes of this demo, this
HelpSet serves as the master HelpSet.
The Demo Program
This demo allows you to add HelpSets to the merge list, display
the resulting merged HelpSet, and remove constituent HelpSets
from the merged HelpSet.
To run the merge demo:
- Use the Add dialog box to
construct a list of HelpSets in the Merged HelpSets panel that
you wish to append to the Master HelpSet
- In the list, select the Master HelpSet
- Click the Display button to view the merged information.
- To remove one of the constituent HelpSets (other than
the Master HelpSet), select the HelpSet in the list and
click the Remove button.
