Proposal for a new help system

Quoting Tom Burns at OFBIZ-4869

This is a status update just to let anyone who is interested know that this item is being worked on.

I started out using the OFBiz structure for help docs but after a while I needed/wanted something more expressive.
Here is what I wound up using for development:

Java Help System http://java.net/projects/javahelp/content

DocBook 5: The Definitive Guide
http://www.docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/docbook.html
http://www.docbook.org/xml/5.0/

DocBook XSL: The Complete Guide
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/index.html
http://sourceforge.net/projects/docbook/files/docbook-xsl/1.77.1/docbook-xsl-1.77.1.zip

Help Master - FE for managing java help files. Best feature drag and drop TOC creates TOC matching file folder structure. Convenient launcher for viewing & testing. http://www.halogenware.com/software/helpmaster.html

XML Mind XML Editor - Free Personal Edition is far better then editing in Eclipse. download from http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/download.shtml

Tutorial - DocBook editing with XML Mind XML Editor. Worth going through http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/tutorial.html

Read Me First style guide from Sun (cost from Amazon 1 cent + shipping)

Attached are some screen shots of the results.
Every screen is/will be documented in a similar structure. This is as much for defining requirements and testing as for help. More work but worth it.

The screenshots show a Java Help format generated using DocBook XSL. This will likely not be the final presentation format.

Note the Performance Review screen shots do not match the trunk. There is a bug in update screen and I did some clean up of labels and drop-down list. There are issues like this all through the application so I did not want to get bogged down with patches at this time.
