Is there a standard way to provide user documentation for my module?

Q: Is there any standard way of providing documentation for my new module?

A: Yes. See the JavaHelp API which describes how to include JavaHelp documentation in a module under Help > Contents; and you can provide rich context help rather easily, linking into the same documentation.

As of NetBeans 5.0 module development support Update 1 and newer, there is a wizard for creating a help set for your module.
