Get rid of useless documentation sources


  • Subject: Get rid of useless documentation sources

I was disappointed to see that Xcode's documentation search replicates the most annoying thing about searching documentation on Apple's web site: it merges Java and Cocoa search results! Nobody wants two copies of every result. I never use Java. I don't care about it's APIs. Why do I have to stumble through its documentation?

I thought there must be some way to configure the "help books" so that Java would simply be omitted. Alas, no luck searching the UI. I found a hopeful defaults key "PBXGlobalSearchSets" that contains an entry for Java! Zap that bad boy! Unfortunately, Xcode seems to rebuild this "preference" from scratch every time, and rewrites the Java entry!

So I searched the frameworks, hoping I could pull a skanky move like removing Java.html from some resource plist somewhere. Unfortunately, the help book files are defined as inline strings inside the DevToolsInterface framework.

So - I'm not very hopeful, but could somebody please let me know if they have a way to disable helpbooks? I will write a bug, but I'd like a short-term fix if possible...

Daniel
