Help im still stuck !!

Question

guyz ok heres what i've done
1.) download
2.) extract to -> C:\java\javahelp-2_0_02
3.) set environment
JHHOME = C:\java\javahelp-2_0_02\jh2.0
//jhhome is for me to manipulate easily (much shorter to type)
JAVAHELP_HOME = %JHHOME%
//this is "by the book"
according to JavaHelp System User's Guide: chapter 4
* /Create HTML topics � /
* /Create a helpset file � /
* /Create a map file � /
* /Create a table of contents file � /
* /Create an index file � /
* /Create a full−text search database � /
* /Compress and encapsulate the help files into a JAR file for
delivery to customers/
/which i just used the one which is bundled in the sample file so "i
think" it not needed as of now, ill try to do these later if i can make
the application find the help file/
4.) i copied the snippet of code from chapter 5.2 (page 86) to my
application but i've got null pointer
URL hsURL = HelpSet.findHelpSet(loader, helpHS);
^^^^^^
this is null
according to Bashiro email dated 12-29-2004 with subject "/new to java
help and needs guidance 2/" that
my /application (eclipse) can't find the necessary files needed to run/.
but i already added the jh.jar, jhall.jar, jhbasic.jar, jsearch.jar into
the "java build path" of eclipse
am i missing still something? please help

This is a classpath issue:
The JAR containing the help content (the HTML and settings, not the classes) must be in your classpath.
or If the content is unzipped in a directory, the path to the file help.hs must be in the classpath.
