Hi Everyone,

 

I have a java-based custom transformer built with the FME plugin SDK.  I created an HTML help file for my custom transformer, and I would like to link it to the transformer, so it can be displayed in FME Form when I right-click on the transformer and click help.  Where does the HTML file need to be placed, and where/how do tell the transformer about the help file?  Do I need to add something to the .fmw or the .java file, or both?  If so, do you have examples or documentation on what code needs to be added?

 

Thank you for your time!

In case anyone else is curious, I heard back from Safe Software support regarding this question.  Apparently it is not possible to implement help documentation for transformers built with the FME Plugin SDK for Java.  The only way to build fully enabled 3rd party transformers is through the FME Package SDK for Python.  So, if I want to link my handy HTTP help documentation to my java-based transformer, I have to first rebuild it in Python using the FME Package SDK.
