Hi, there's a file javahelp/.../compile/process_descriptor.html (topic Process Description Property Editor) in Online Help, but it's not used anywhere
I believe this topic is a generic topic for process descriptors, which is available if there is a process descriptor in the IDE that does not have a specialized topic. The topic is not meant to be used in the TOC or index, since it is only useful if users get that topic when they press the Help button on that dialog. It is referenced in the map file with this entry: <mapID target="org.netbeans.beaninfo.editors.NbProcessDescriptorCustomEditor" url="compile/process_descriptor.html" /> But it looks like the topic isn't currently used in the standard distro, since AFAICT the various types of process descriptors each have their own topics. John, could you take a look at this and decide what to do?
OK, Patrick or John, a question for future: Is it normal to have topics not referenced in TOC or in any other help topic?
Yes. We have a few dozen topics that are only available through F1 or Help buttons. If a topic only makes sense in the context of a dialog (i.e. it gives info on what is there but not *how* to do something), it is better to not to clutter the index or TOC, especially since the index and TOC already have topics on the "how to" stuff.
