Added no tests btw. Works bug-free on MacOS 15.6 and should work universally. |

Hi! Great work on this! I am curious about which version of Java you are using. We use Eclipse Temurin 17. I believe if you set that SDK then you will see that desktop.browse() will throw an exception.
here is an example in the file of the pattern you'll want to follow:
item = new JMenuItem(Language.text("menu.help.getting_started"));
item.addActionListener(e -> Platform.openURL(Language.text("menu.help.getting_started.url")));
menu.add(item);

Changed used method to Platform.openURL(). Should now work universally.

Okay, removed the imports now. I personally think it looks good now. But of course I would love to make some changes if needed.

Added two links to the help menu bar. Opens either processing forum or GitHub issues tab in standard browser when clicked. Resolves Issue #1208
Implemented the new features in JavaEditor.java and also provided German language support.
Used Desktop.getDesktop() and then Desktop.browse(oURL) to follow the link.
I Placed the MenuItems between "Download official reference" and "library reference".
I will change the code ASAP when somethings bugging or the I messed up with the style guidelines.
