Description Patrick Keegan 2002-05-24 15:39:43 UTC 
1. For 3.3/Orion, for accessibility and other reasons, we decided to have all of the different help 
sets rely on the same ide.css file, so that a vision-impaired user could adjust help fonts in one 
file. To make the process easier, we decided to change the build script to pull ide.css out of 
usersguide.jar and have it live in the docs folder, so that the user doesn't have to unjar and 
rejar usersguide. However, the closed source version of usersguide's build.xml file does not 
have this change in it. So the closed source usersguide build.xml file overrides the open source 
usersguide build.xml file and negates the change in the Orion builds.

2. The Help topic on changing ide.css actually points the user to usersguide.jar and provides 
instructions on unjarring and changing the css (which is correct for current Orion builds and 
wrong for NetBeans). Unfortunately, it is missing a step (that the user needs to rebuild the jar), 
so the procedure doesn't work (either for NetBeans or for FFJ).

Possible solutions for Orion:

1. Fix the help topic in Orion, so that the user is instructed to rejar usersguide.
2. Release note the fact that the help topic is a little off.
3. Fix the closed source build script *and* fix the open source orion_fcs help topic (best 
possible solution for the user).

Possible solutions for NetBeans 3.3.2
1. Release note the fact that the help topic is inaccurate.
2. Fix the help topic.

I'm going to do 
2. Release note the fact that the help topic is a little off.

in the orion release notes, resolve issue for now, but it needs to be
reopened after Orion FCS.

I've updated the help topic for NB 3.4 and integrated
it into the trunk.  The topic points to 
where the ide.css lives outside usersguide.jar and instructs
the user to edit it.  There are three outstanding issues, so
I am re-opening the issue:

--install-dir/docs/org/netbeans/modules/usersguide/ide.css is
  not used by the Ant 1.4.1 manual.

--ide.css needs to be unpacked from usersguide.jar for FFJ

--All modules in FFJ need to point to the same ide.css

All of the outstanding issues have been resolved.
Comment 6 Patrick Keegan 2003-07-08 16:23:17 UTC 
Marking this as verified in NB 3.5. Bob is there anything we need to
do to make sure this is working in S1S modules?
Comment 7 Bob May 2003-07-09 00:13:41 UTC 
Yes, I do think we need to check this in Studio. Will do so asap.
