Title:  Invoking Help files from ME (java-version)
Ref:    sub11
Author: Dr. Detlef Groth
Date:   2001-02-15

Here are just two macros  which allows you to invoke the  java-api-files  from
the ME, these should be defined in your  myjava.emf  file.  Versions for other
programming-languages can be made in a similar manner.

Hope this helps.

By the way, the ME-help-pages are still online at:
http://www.microemacs.de/findex094/bin/findex.htm

Note, with release  2001-07 onwards the java tool menu addition should be done
as follows:

set-variable .fhook-java.command-flag  &cat .fhook-java.command-flag  "th|th|th|"
set-variable .fhook-java.command-name  &cat .fhook-java.command-name  "|find-java-api|find-java-class-help|"
set-variable .fhook-java.command-nbind &cat .fhook-java.command-nbind "|||"
set-variable .fhook-java.command-kbind &cat .fhook-java.command-kbind "|||"
set-variable .fhook-java.command-desc  &cat .fhook-java.command-desc  "|Java Api Help|Java Class Help|"

==== myjava.emf start ========================================================

; two small macros delivering support for the java-api-help-pages

; two variables which must be adjusted individually
set-variable :java-api-path "F:/java/jdk1.2.2/api/"
set-variable :browser "E:/Programme/Netscape/Communicator/Program/netscape.exe " ; space at the end !

;simple-invokation of the java-api
define-macro find-java-api
    shell-command &cat &cat :browser :java-api-path "index.html"
!emacro

; invoke the page in dependence of the marked text
; par example if something like `java.io.*' is marked a directory-listing for
; all io-files will be given
; if `java.awt.Button' is marked the java/awt/Button.html page is shown
define-macro find-java-class-help
    set-variable #l0 @y ; get the marked text
    find-buffer "*temp*" ; do some replacements here
    execute-string #l0
    beginning-of-buffer
    replace-string "\\." "/"
    beginning-of-buffer
    replace-string "\*" ""
    beginning-of-buffer
    set-mark
    end-of-line
    exchange-point-and-mark
    kill-region
    delete-buffer "*temp*"
    !if &sin "*" #l0 ; ie a directory listing
        shell-command &cat &cat :browser :java-api-path @y
    !else ; ie a certain class
        shell-command &cat &cat &cat :browser :java-api-path @y ".html"
    !endif
    -1 yank
!emacro

; two ugly additions into the java-menu you can make shortcuts also
osd .osd.java-tool 50 "-"
osd .osd.java-tool 51 "" "open java-api"       f find-java-api
osd .osd.java-tool 52 "" "open java-class-api" f find-java-class-help
