This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
This is an umbrella issue for all bugs relating to the returning of improper help IDs when F1 is pressed on a component that extends a component in the base NetBeans product. When filing issues for specific instances of help ID problems, please put this issue number in the Issue Blocks field of the new report. Also, the new issues should be filed against the module where the problem is perceived to originate. This could be either in the base NetBeans module (perhaps the code is written in a way that does not allow extending modules to use their own help IDs) or in the extending module itself (the help ID is not properly assigned). Info on assigning help IDs can be found here: http://www.netbeans.org/download/dev/javadoc/JavaHelpAPI/index.html If there is missing info in this doc, please mention it here, and I can file a new issue for that.
Switching this to a task, since this is an umbrella issue and there are currently no open issues that depend on this issue.
no feedback on this lately, so closing
