The online help is designed to be viewed in the JavaHelpTM viewer, which is integrated into the IDE. If you prefer, you can view the online help in the IDE's web browser or in another HTML browser.
The online help is divided into several help sets. Most help sets are packaged in a JAR file, while a few help sets are packaged in a zip file. The file usersguide.jar includes the core online help. Help sets are typically stored in the ide10/modules/docs directory in your installation directory.
To extract the online help from a JAR file:
jar xf jar-file
For jar-file, use the file name of the JAR file from which you want to extract files.
The Jar tool makes copies of the files and writes them to the current directory. The directory structure is reproduced according to the package structure in the archive.
