HelpMaster is an easy-to-use authoring tool for Sun's JavaHelp component that will provide you with complete control over all the apects of the JavaHelp system, thus giving you the possibility to build a help system for users.

Here are some key features of "HelpMaster":

· Manage the files related to your project with the built in file manager. The file manager will even open the files using specified external applications or the operating system defaults.
· Output your help project uncompressed or store it in a jar file.
· Preview the generated help directly from HelpMaster.
· Make the help project executable (if stored in a jar file), so it can be launched independently of your application.
· HelpMaster will automatically create and manage the map file, helpset file and other aspects of the help system for you.
· Easily edit the standard views (Table of Contents, Index or Glossary) with drag and drop support. Creating multiple views of each type is also supported.
· If more control is desired over the views a plain xml editor is included.
