NB Dev (200706190000) There is no Help button in Options dialog http://ui.netbeans.org/docs/ui/options2/
BTW, what did you test? I just did a clean build and I do see the Help button in Tools Options dialog right where is has always been. Attach a screenshot, please.

Created attachment 44133 [details] Screenshot - Options dialog without Help button
I see. What OS? Is it just when you select Java Code category or for all/other categories as well? I see on XP the Help button is always there but disabled just for Java Code. On Mac I see that the Help button is not there for Java Code but it is there for other categories. If it is missing only in Java Code please reassign to Java module.
Pavel, it was reproducible on all OSes we are running tests on. I think it could be related to default category - because I am trying to open Options and push Help button, Java category was default category two days ago, but after your changes it looks like it's working ... http://beetle.czech.sun.com:8080/unittest/TestCase.jsp?issues=40696 It started to work in build 200706201200 - I think the first build with General panel , Am I right ?
The behavior seems to actually depend on the default category: -if the cat. selected when the Options dialog opens does not have an associated help, the Help button is not shown -once a cat. which does have a help is shown, the Help button is also shown -if a cat. without help is selected again, the Help button is disabled Seems that Java Code category does not have any associated help. The documentation for the category should be IMO driven by the doc. team - please let us know what we should do in the code to support it. Thanks.
From a docs perspective, just provide as an ID for the Java Code tab. We will temporarily map that to a "Coming Soon" kind of file and then fill in the topic later
*** Issue 117453 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. ***
As Patrick said, please provide us with a help id.
I have added ids for the tabs in the Java Code category. The IDs are: netbeans.optionsDialog.java.formatting - Formatting netbeans.optionsDialog.java.tasklist - Tasklist netbeans.optionsDialog.java.hints - Hints netbeans.optionsDialog.java.markoccurrences - Mark Occurrences netbeans.optionsDialog.java - if no sub-tab selected - cannot happen, IMO. I cannot reasonably test if it works, sorry. Please let me know if you need any changes/adjustments. Thanks.
I integrated the new help ids in the map file for this helpset, pointing to a 'to be done' HTML file. Related topics will be added. I consider this issue therefore to be closed.
