Trouble opening CHM documents?

We are currently having intermittent issues with our CHM builds. If you have downloaded a CHM from the MySQL website, please do not report a bad CHM as a bug. CHMs are rebuilt every 6 hours. Please download a later build and use that. For more information on the problems, see Problems with the CHM Refman builds.

If an error occurs when you try to open a CHM documents and the document content does not display, right-click on the document icon and select Properties. Then click the Unblock button in the Properties window and click Apply.

Trouble with PDF files?

Acrobat Reader 6.0 has a couple of issues and may display errors when opening or scrolling through one of our PDF files. We recommend using Adobe Reader 7.0, kpdf (Linux), or Preview (Mac OS X).

Installing the Eclipse documentation plugin

You can install the Eclipse documentation plugin by extracting the Eclipse package and dropping the directory into your Eclipse plugins directory.
