When they click the Help button in the Ruby tab in the Options > Misc panel, please use the target id of: org.netbeans.modules.ruby.railsprojects.RailsProjectOption (If I am wrong about the target id, let me know. I wasn't sure which class to use).
Fixed using the suggested target id, changeset ec7acc33be95.

Using build 3349 (Build 20080811162939), I open Tools > Options, I click Miscellaneous, and I click Ruby. There is no help button. If I click another tab im the Miscellaneous panel, the help button may appear. If I go back to the Ruby tab and click Help, I seem to get the help for some other tab. Once it emitted: displayInJHelp: netbeans.optionsDialog.advanced.files null Another time it emitted: displayInJHelp: org.netbeans.modules.versioning.util.VcsAdvancedOptions null It seems that the Help button only appears on the Ruby tab if I previously visited a Misc tab that had a help button enabled. For example, if I go from Tools > Options to Appearance Ruby, there will not be a help button. But if I click another tab in Misc that has a help button, then go to the Ruby tab, the help button is enabled. If I click the Help button on the Ruby tab, it serves up the help for the previous tab, not the Ruby tab.
Sorry about that. Turns out adding a help id to that class doesn't work, had to add it elsewhere. The id is "netbeans.optionsDialog.advanced.ruby". Changeset 4491b251d6e4.
