Both interesting ideas. I have tossed around the idea of a JavaHelp support module for the IDE with some people, but nothing too concrete. Someone would have to define what it should do: e.g. integrate into the Form Editor so that you could attach help IDs to components with a couple of mouse clicks? An installer integration would be welcome too. I am rerouting to nbdev since people interested in trying to implement some of these things should see it there.
