<h2>Status of this Specification</h2>
<p>
JavaHelp<sup><font size=-2>TM</font></sup> is
the Help system for the Java<sup><font size=-2>TM</font></sup> Platform.
These documents describe the JavaHelp 1.0 specification.
As of the publication of this document,
the closest released implementation is the
<a href="misc/RefImpl.html">JavaHelp 1.0 release</a>
which follows this specification.
<p>
We followed
<a href="http://java.sun.com/aboutJava/standardization/javaopen.html">
Sun's Open Development Process for the Java Platform</a>,
an open and inclusive process that
produces high-quality specifications in "Internet-time".
Through this process
the critical feedback from all reviewers
helped us transform early
specifications into a high quality final specifications that
satisfied the needs of the user community.
The release of this specification is part of this process.</p>
<p>
We expect the
specification to continue to be extended in future updates.
Please send us your feedback to guarantee that future specifications
best suites your needs.
</p>
<p>
<hr>
<h2>How to read this Specification</h2>
<p>
Two sets of documents are included.
The first set is the actual specification that describes the JavaHelp API
and its use.
Also included are several related documents that,
while not technically part of the specification,
help in understanding it. These documents describe
aspects of Sun's reference implementation.
<p>
We suggest that you begin by reading the specification
<A HREF="Overview.html">Overview</A>.
In order to make the JavaHelp system features more concrete
and easy to understand, a number of <a
href="misc/Scenarios.html">usage scenarios</a> are
explained in a companion document. These scenarios
describe some of the different ways the JavaHelp system can
be used in Java applications.
</p>
<p>
You may want to complement your reading of this
specification by exploring the <a href="#ref impl">JavaHelp
1.0 release</a> which corresponds to this specification.
This reference implementation also supports some features that
are useful for online documentation systems but that we have judged to not
be appropriate for inclusion in the specification at this time.
The release also includes examples of documentation and
applications that use this specification.
