How to set icon in JavaHelp frame?

Question

Hello everybody
I'm using JavaHelp 2.0 for the first time and I have been told that it is possible to set the icon within the JavaHelp frame. Furthermore it should be possible to set the position of the help window.
I used the following code within my Java class to start JavaHelp, as the help frame should appear, when the user clicks on "JavaHelp" within the "Help" menu:
    JMenu helpMenu = new JMenu("Help");
    try {
      URL hsURL = new File("javahelp/DbManager.hs").toURL();
      HelpSet hs = new HelpSet(null, hsURL);
      HelpBroker hb = hs.createHelpBroker();
      menuItem = new JMenuItem("JavaHelp");
      menuItem.addActionListener(new CSH.DisplayHelpFromSource(hb));
      helpMenu.add(menuItem);
    } catch (Exception e) {
    }My helpset is called "DbManager.hs" and here's the presentation section of it (of course the image "dbmanager.title.image" is defined within the map file):
  <!-- presentation -->
  <presentation default="true" displayviews="true" displayviewimages="false">
    <name>MainWindow</name>
    <size width="600" height="500" />
    <location x="200" y="200" />
    <title>Database Manager</title>
    <image>dbmanager.title.image</image>
  </presentation>When I start the JavaHelp it does not show the Icon and it does not set the size and location accordingly.
I'd be very glad for any hint on what I might be overlooking.
Thanks,
Christian

Hi,
You need to specify the name of your presentation in the createHelpBroker call:
    JMenu helpMenu = new JMenu("Help");
    try {
      URL hsURL = new File("javahelp/DbManager.hs").toURL();
      HelpSet hs = new HelpSet(null, hsURL);
      HelpBroker hb = hs.createHelpBroker("MainWindow");
      menuItem = new JMenuItem("JavaHelp");Then it should work.
