A simple JavaHelp-compatible help set, help map, table of contents, index, and sample home page for you. You can test the helpset by hitting Execute on the help set file.

For starters, you get a "home page" for the module that will be displayed under Help | Help Sets. If you want to add context help, you must create HelpCtx objects in the getHelpCtx methods throughout your code; then add the IDs (by convention these may be fully-qualified class names) to the help map, and point them to the URL of an HTML page describing the feature. (You may want to put anchors in the URLs too, to scroll to a specific part of a page.)

If you want JavaHelp search, try using the netbeans.org <jhindexer> Ant task.

All of the JavaHelp files (except the actual HTML) can be edited as plain text (with syntax highlighting) or as structured XML.
