Please add a link back into the CND help for C/C++ users who need help creating a project. The link to the usersguide help on the web does not contain any information for C/C++. Maybe something like this can be added: For C/C++ projects, see <a href=nbdocs:/org/netbeans/modules/cnd/help/WorkingWithCandC++Projects/CreatingCorC++Project.html">Creating a C or C++ Project</a>

A note could be added to the usersguide topic on the web. Or a link could be made to a wiki page with additional information from the javahelp topic and/or usersguide topic
can we still have a link to the CND help in remaining javadoc page?
high priority for CND
(In reply to Egor Ushakov from comment #2) > can we still have a link to the CND help in remaining javadoc page? Do you mean Javahelp? What page are you referring to? I am not quite clear on what you would like to link to. When the CND plugin is loaded the Javahelp window will contain the full list of CND TOC topics. The Contents tab of Javahelp would contain the following: - Legal Notices - IDE Basics -- Using the IDE Help System -C/C++/Fortran Development -- (CNC topics) -- (CNC topics) -- (CNC topics)
I'm talking about the topic that is opened when you click "help" in new project wizard, now it contains: New project wizard: choose project ... and nothing about cnd. Previously there were a lot of links and one pointing to cnd.

Thank you for the clarification. Now that topic only describes the UI elements in that dialog, regardless of the technology. CND specific topics are available from the Help button in the next page of the wizard if a user selects a CND project. I think for that particular topic that is used by many technologies there is no need to add links to all the technologies that are supported by the IDE. The How? link points to a generic topic on the web that contains technology-agnostic steps for creating a project.
Generic information about creating a project is not very useful for CND users because the wizard is pretty complicated for some types of C/C++ projects, and there are about 8 types. Users need a way to get to the various context sensitive help pages for CND project wizards. Context help is not normally available from the TOC. The first page of the wizard is where users select the type of project they want to create. Users who don't know which type they want will click the Help button and see that there is no appropriate help. The way it stands now, we have to hope that users get the idea to search the help to find the context sensitive help that should have been provided automatically when they click the Help button.
