The JavaHelp software now supports both JDK 1.1 and JDK 1.2. Support for JDK 1.1 has been added in response to feedback from many customers needing online help for JDK 1.1 applications. Although JDK 1.1 is in wider use, JDK 1.2 is fundamentally a better platform offering many advantageous features for the JavaHelp software, including: • jar:protocol – Provides a general and consistent way to refer to files within a JAR file. • Temporary files – Provides improved full-text search performance. • More flexible ClassLoader (including standard URLClassLoader) – Enables the easy creation of new ClassLoaders. • Improved security model. • Access to the SystemEventQueue from an applet – Enables some context-sensitive help features in applets. • Improved I18N support, including input methods. • Printing support. • 2D graphics support.
