Add Help and/or Examples for Test Script tab #26

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
I have no idea how to use this feature -- there should be a way to find out 
from within the app!

Some options:
 * just add a "How to use this" link just above the text area which goes to the website
 * add some built-in help under the Help menu
 * include some default example scripts as templates, accessible via a dropdown above the 
textarea
    * hmm, that gives me an idea for another enhancement...

This is explained in this tutorial:

http://code.google.com/p/rest-client/wiki/TestingTutorial

May be this can be included as part of Help in the application. Should we use
JavaHelp or something else?

Inclusion of JavaHelp 2.x is simple:

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.help</groupId>
    <artifactId>javahelp</artifactId>
    <version>2.0.02</version>
</dependency>

I don't know about JavaHelp, but yes, my vote is that the app should either 
link to or contain help.

Removing label 2.1--Planning for JavaHelp in 3.0 release.

Plans change. Believe it will be too much maintenance issue to have 
documentation in
two places, Wiki and the application itself. And in the Test tab I have 
provided a
template code insertion button (since ver.2.1). So believe this issue will not 
be
pursued.
