Description johnzoet 2003-05-02 12:02:09 UTC

NetBeans 3.5 RC1 has a problem with Help if
PlasticLookAndFeel is loaded. None of the help
functions is working. All you see is a small
window with no content.
This problem did not exist with the beta version
of 3.5

My settings in ide.cfg are:
-J-DPlastic.tabStyle=Metal
-ui com.jgoodies.plaf.plastic.PlasticLookAndFeel

I already had an email conversation with Karsten about
this. He said he has fixed it in a later version of 
Plastic L&F - if you download a new copy, it should work.
