Class HelpManager

  • public final class HelpManager
extends Object
    Singleton help manager where objects can register to display Help for something, an independant viewer can register to be notified when the requested Help URL changes and can display it appropriately. This class effectively decouples the help requester from the help implementation (if any!)
