Description Alexander Kouznetsov 2007-11-14 17:37:18 UTC
Product Version: NetBeans IDE 6.0 RC1 (Build 200711140000)
Java: 1.6.0_03; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.6.0_03-b05
System: Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86; Cp1251; ru_RU (nb)

Steps to reproduce:
- Open CPU/Memory snapshot
- Press F1
- RESULT: No context help is shown for snapshot. F1 works perfectly for Live Results window.
Comment 1 Alexander Kouznetsov 2007-11-14 17:45:28 UTC
The list of windows that do not show context help also includes:
- Profiler Control Panel
- Profiling Points window
- VM Telemetry Overview
- Specify Root Methods dialog
- Select Root Methods dialog
- Define New Root Method dialog
- Profiling Points Active in Analyze Performance/Analyze Memory
- many other small dialogs which don't have "Help" button but F1 is still working in them

IMO if no specific topic can be shown for any particular dialog or window, some Profiler topic could be shown instead of
"Finding Information About the IDE" topic.
Comment 2 J Bachorik 2008-03-29 12:16:31 UTC
changing milestone
Comment 3 Kenneth Ganfield 2008-08-18 19:01:22 UTC
The windows can be mapped to existing topics only if a help id is assigned to them.
The Live Result window has the help id LiveResultsWindow.HelpCtx

Currently all these unmapped windows and dialogs have the generic help id of org.openide.util.HelpCtx.DEFAULT_HELP
which automatically maps to the "Finding Information About the IDE" topic.

When help ids are assigned to the windows and dialogs I can map them to existing profiler related topics, but i cannot
assign help ids to the windows.

This issue should be reassigned to an engineer to for the help ids and can then be reassigned back to me to map the ids
to topics
Comment 4 Jiri Sedlacek 2008-09-01 13:53:16 UTC
Removing VISUALVM keyword, there's no context help in VisualVM.
Comment 5 Jiri Sedlacek 2008-09-01 15:43:28 UTC
Some of the help ids already available, see Issue 107842. Added these ids:

 - RootMethodsPanel.HelpCtx
 - ProjectSelectRootMethodsPanel.HelpCtx
 - ManualMethodSelect.HelpCtx
 - ProfilingPointsDisplayer.HelpCtx

Please add the correct help mappings for 6.5.
