Opening the Online Help Bookshelf

The bookshelf is organized into documentation sets.

In addition to application-specific documentation sets, the bookshelf may also display other documentation sets:
  • Sybase server documentation collections, such as for EAServer, SQL Anywhere, and Adaptive Server Enterprise, are displayed if the servers are installed on the same machine as the application.
  • Documentation sets provided by Eclipse, such as the Workbench User Guide and the Java Development User Guide, are also available.

You can open, review, and search all of these documentation sets from the bookshelf.

  1. Select Help > Help Contents from the main menu bar to open the bookshelf in a Web browser.
  2. In the bookshelf, expand the documentation set you want to view.
  3. Click a topic to display its contents in the right pane.
  4. Do any of the following:
    • Click the Go Back and Go Forward arrows to return to a previous topic and sequence forward again.
    • Click Show in Table of Contents Icon for Show in Table of Contents to synchronize the Contents pane with the current topic.

      Synchronization is useful if you follow several links or if you perform a search and want to match the navigation tree with the current topic.
