Documentation Roadmap

By utilizing standardized, open source frameworks, the BEA Workshop Studio group of products integrates a standard robust basic IDE platform with BEA's proprietary web development productivity features. However this provides a challenge for documentation delivery, since each component provides its own documentation and the BEA documentation does not duplicate information located elsewhere.

While documentation is available on the Internet for various components used by the Workshop Studio products, we recommend that you first consult the documentation shipped with your software. The document set shipped with Workshop Studio is specific to the versions of the software components that are integrated into your version of the product.

Documentation within the IDE Help System

The online documentation is available by clicking Help > Help Contents from the Workshop Studio window.
