Description Patrick Keegan 2002-03-24 18:57:30 UTC 
In the Options window, the default helpID for nodes within the Object Types folder is org.openide.nodes.BeanNode. This is not a particularly helpful ID, 
especially since (I believe) it can apply to other parts of the IDE as well. It would be better if this default ID was taken away from these nodes. Then 
JavaHelp could revert to the ID for the node's folder (Object Types), which has a helpID that allows me to map to a topic that discusses the nature of 
object types. Naturally, specific helpIDs could be assigned for each object types (if the module owner so desires).
Comment 1 Jesse Glick 2002-03-24 21:50:22 UTC 
Hopefully all that needs to be done is to remove the
org.openide.nodes.BeanNode help ID; the Options dialog then ought to
search for help on a parent node automatically (I think).
Comment 2 Petr Hrebejk 2002-03-28 16:45:12 UTC 
Fixed by adding getHelpCtx into LoaderPoolNode.LoaderPoolItemNode

The HelpID for the nodes is:
org.netbeans.core.LoaderPoolNode$LoaderPoolItemNode
Comment 3 Patrick Keegan 2002-03-29 14:51:49 UTC 
marking as 3.3.2 candidate. Very low-impact fix.
Comment 4 Marian Mirilovic 2002-04-02 11:16:57 UTC 
It seems like it works fine now, but after arising Help pane is empty 
see issue 22027.

verified in [orion_CE](20020401) && [jdk1.3.1](03)/[jdk1.4](fcs)
Comment 5 Petr Hrebejk 2002-04-02 11:39:19 UTC 
Applyied to orion_fcs branch.
Comment 6 Patrick Keegan 2002-04-02 13:56:55 UTC 
concerning bug 22027, I originally used bad syntax in the map file, 
but that has been fixed.
Comment 7 Quality Engineering 2003-07-01 16:19:13 UTC 
Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
