## 11.2 Obtaining tools for a Java-based Help system

You will need Java Standard Edition (Java SE): version 2 or later for JavaHelp, version 5 or later for Oracle Help. Download the Java SE from this site:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

Note: If you install Java SE in a directory that contains spaces in the path name (such as C:\Program Files\Java), you will have to modify some of the scripts that accompany the Help tools, to enclose the path name in double quotes.

Download Oracle Help for Java from this site:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/ohj50ext-089966.html

Download JavaHelp from this site:

http://download.java.net/javadesktop/javahelp/

Supposedly, eventually JavaHelp downloads should be available here:

http://java.net/projects/javahelp/

However, it does not appear that this site is maintained.

For both Help systems the software is free, and can be redistributed.
