If you need to build compiled JavaHelp, PDF output and compiled
HTML Help, you should install some build tools for these formats of
outputs
JavaHelp is free software that can build online help for operating
systems, applications, and devices. If you have set up JavaHelp,
the DITA Open Toolkit can build online Java help by invoking
JavaHelp software. To download and install JavaHelp software, go to
http://java.sun.com/products/javahelp/download_binary.html
FOP (Formatting Objects Processor) is a Java application and is
the print formatter driven by XSL formatting objects (XSL-FO). FOP
reads a formatting object tree and transforms the object to PDF
output. If you have set up FOP, the DITA Open Toolkit can build PDF
output by invoking FOP. To download and install the binary
distribution for FOP, go to http://xml.apache.org/fop/download.html
Microsoft HTML Help Workshop is a program designed to create and
compile .CHM help files using HTML source files. If you have set up
Microsoft HTML Help Workshop, the DITA Open Toolkit can build
.CHM
help files by invoking the Workshop. To download
and install Microsoft HTML Help Workshop, go to http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/htmlhelp/html/hwMicrosoftHTMLHelpDownloads.asp
If you have installed one or more of these optional build tools,
you should choose the following options to set up.

If you have installed the JavaHelp, |
set up the environment variable
JHHOME to
your installation directory for JavaHelp. For
example:
set
JHHOME=<javahelp_dir>

If you have installed the FOP, |
set up your environment variable CLASSPATH to include the
fop.jar, batik.jar and
avalon.jar files in the FOP
