#13 Command-line to generate the helpset JAR file.

[Philippe Andersson]

I would like to integrate the generation of the helpset
JAR file in the global build process of the project
(I'm using ant).

Would it be possible either:

- to document the command-line to use in order to
generate the helpset JAR file (including full-text
index) from the STML sources

- or to add in the GUI a menu option showing the
command line to use based on the project settings

- or to add command-line option to HelpSetMaker that
would allow it to be invoqued in batch mode (no GUI)
for the purpose of the JAR generation ?

If the "JAR file" option has been set in the project, the JAR file should be created automatically if the command line for HelpSet generation is issued to the program.

Yes, that's the case.

I'm glad to hear that ;-) Could you please tell me what the appropriate "command line for HelpSet generation" is? I went through the docs but couldn't find any reference to command-line parameters. I also tried to invoque the JAR file with "-h", "-help" and "--help" but without success.

I upgraded to 1.1.0 in the mean time, BTW.

Thanks in advance.
