Dynamic help

Curious how dynamic help is developed in Oxygen. Just the basics, such as created by java developers, or used techniques similar to eclipse dynamic help. I am researching on how to implement dynamic help for a java based web application.

Hi Jeff,

We initially develop our user's manual content in the DITA XML vocabulary.
Then we use the DITA Open Toolkit publishing engine to publish the user manual content to JavaHelp format.
And we use a JavaHelp viewer swing component to present the help inside the application.
I think this is the original JavaHelp presentation page:

https://javahelp.java.net/
