Including javahelp in a jar executable

Hi, ive just created an application and would like to include a javahelp with it, ive got it running off my local machine with the java helpset working too , but what im wondering is, is it possbile to include jhall.jar in the application jar so people who do not have javahelp installed can still view the helpsets ? and if so how do i point to it so that it imports it when the helpset is called upon.
here is my manifest file
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Class-Path: ./jhall.jar
Created-By: NetBeans IDE
Specified-By: studentbudget/StudentBudget.jarContent

Try this; - where 'help' is a dir in your jar.
     try
               URL hsURL = getClass().getResource( "help/myhelpset.hs" );
               hs = new HelpSet(null, hsURL);
               // found helpset, allow help
               HelpBroker hb = hs.createHelpBroker();
                         menuItemHelp.addActionListener(new CSH.DisplayHelpFromSource(hb));
               // add help functionality to main menu
               menuHelp.add(menuHelpHelp);
               menuHelp.addSeparator();
               menuHelp.add(menuHelpAbout);
               menuBar1.add(menuHelp);

          catch (Exception ee)
               JOptionPane.showMessageDialog( null, "Be aware that online help could not be loaded.");
               //System.out.println("HelpSet " + hs.getTitle() + " not found");

@BalusC
ust for a reference cause i'm new in JSP This has nothing to do with JSP, but with basic knowledge of an essential API. I have given you the link to the File API. Are you saying that you refused to read the API documentation, which clearly explains you how to use the File and shows which methods are all available to you undereach the straightforward getName() method, and expecting that the others may chew the answers for you? Loser.

JavaHelp - problems installing

Hi,
Just a quick question. I've downloaded JavaHelp and extracted the zip file. I assume that to install I need to run the src.jar file but it says that it is invalid or corrupt. Is this a Sun issue as my friend has had the same problem.
Regards,
Chris

No, all you need is the jh.jar file in the lib/ext/ directory of your JRE. Read
the documentation files (they come with that .zip file) and see if you need
a more limited (or extended) version of the .jar file (chapter 5: "programming
with the JavaHelp system")
kind regards,
Jos

Installing JavaHelp in Websphere

Hi!
I'm trying to install a javahelp web application in websphere application server 5 and somehow it doesn't work!
It's supposed to be a server based Javahelp, invoked by a JSP in a web application. I tried to call Javahelp using the following code:
<jh:validate helpBroker="<%= helpBroker %>"
helpSetName="/Help/PT/CpyProd.hs"/>
<body onload="location='JavaHelp/help.jsp'">
It works fine on Websphere test environment and on Tomcat4.1 but it can't compile the JSP on WAS!
I supposed that it was a problem while finding the helpset and so, I tried to do this manually using the following code also in the JSP:
<%
java.net.URL hsURL = new java.net.URL("http://i2sseg.i2s.local:9080/I2SHelp/Help/PT/CpyProd.hs");
javax.help.HelpSet hs = new javax.help.HelpSet(null, hsURL);
helpBroker.setHelpSet(hs);
%>
I created manually the Helpset's URL but I have a problem creating the HelpSet. I get the folowing exception:
[17-06-2004 14:39:16:909 UTC] 25e50d5f WebGroup E SRVE0026E: [Servlet Error]-[Could not parse]: javax.help.HelpSetException: Could not parse
java/lang/Throwable.<init>(Ljava/lang/String;)V+4 (Throwable.java:85)
java/lang/Exception.<init>(Ljava/lang/String;)V+1 (Exception.java:33)
Once again, this works fine on websphere test environment and on tomcat... (and I used the exact same WAR fine on tomcat)
I'm also using the same .hs in all installations so, there is no problem there
I'm running out of ideas... can anyone help me with this?
Thanx in advance
Filipe Teixeira

got rid of this exception for javahelp on websphere.
Nested Exception is java.lang.RuntimeException: Could not parse
Got an IOException (http://localhost:9081/http://localhost:9081/.ContextName/TaxCalculatorHelp/TaxCalculatorHelpSet.hs)
Parsing failed for null
I noted a few things in my scenario :
If code below is used to get the URL of helpsetName with context ,
response.encodeURL(request.getContextPath() + "/somefolder/hsName.hs") then it creates problem with jh:validate tag
Using 'jh:validate' tag appends servername:portnumber to the fully formed helpset name, causes the wrongly formed URL of the helpset.
So what we need is ONLY the 'context' name, which we don't get from request.getContextPath() (cos it returns protocol, servername, portnumber , .. ) ..
As I am doing it in Portlets , used renderRequest.getContextPath() that solves the purpose.
hope it helps .
have a good day !

Installing JavaHelp and SDK

I installed JavaHelp and the Java 2 SDK Enterprise Edition. I have rebooted my PC. Everytime I try to run JavaHelp I get a message that I must install the lastest version of the Java 2 SDK.
Anyone have any ideas on what I did wrong?

You should install Java 2 SDK Standard Edition. Even Enterprise Edition need it!

How to install JavaHelp??

Dear all,
After compiling JavaHelp with RoboHelp for Word I get the
following message:
'Please install the latest version of JavaHelp'
I tried a lot of things but I didn't succeeded.
-copying the JH2.0 folder to many related dir's.
-copying the content of JH.2.0 (BIN/LIB) to related dir's.
-installing/reinstalling JDK, SDK, JRE...
-reÔnstalling robohelp
-attempt to define the necessary variables (PATH, JHHOME,...)
Can someone tell me how to install JavaHelp properly?
(PS I use word 2003)

Hi Peter,
Thank you for your quick response.
Your website is not new for me. I tried to solve the problem
by executing the 9 steps you describe:
http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/javahelp/javahelp.htm...
But unfortunately, without any luck.
I don't know what the problem is, I guess maybe something
with:
-The location of the JavaHelp BIN and LIB folder. There is no
executable, no installer? Where do I need to save these folders? Do
I need to add them to another folder?
-The environment variables: I created two new variables
(JHHOME and JAVA_HOME). I added both of them to the PATH variable
by adding something like: "%JHHOME%C:\SUN;" Is that correct?
-Installation of the SDK folder?
-Versions of the Java software? I installed: JDK1.6.0_03,
JH2.0, JRE1.6.0_03

I think you may have gotten confused with the installation guide.
If you're installing GRC, you should not be installing SOA or other components. There are 2 applications you can install from that distribution, GRCC or EGRCM. EGRCM is the one that refers to SOA's if needed, so even then you shouldn't need to install it for testing out the product.
I hope that helps!

JavaHelp 1.0 is required to view the JavaHelp output?????

Hi All,
I'm getting this dialog after I have generated the JavaHelp.
"JavaHelp 1.0 is required to view the JavaHelp output. Please
install the latest version of JavaHelp"
But I have allready installed this "C:\jh1.1.3" and inserted
these 2 System variables "JAVAHELP_HOME" - "C:\jh1.1.3" and
"JHHOME" - "C:\jh1.1.3".
I have allso installed "j2sdk1.4.1_01".
What else needs to be done?

I faintly remember a problem with Robohelp and JH1.1.3 a
couple of years ago, I don't know if this was ever resolved.
I have found the following that might help.

Installing Solaris Management Console

I'm trying to get Solaris Management Console working on my Solaris 9 host. I've installed all the SMC packages:
SUNWmc
SUNWmcc
SUNWmccom
SUNWmcdev
SUNWmcex
SUNWwbmc
Unfortunately, I found out that Solaris Management Console also requires a SUNWCprog cluster install (Developer install) and this host was built last year with the SUNWCuser (End user) install.
Does anybody know what additional pkgs I need to install to get Solaris Management Console to work? I don't have the option of rebuilding the machine and I don't want to install every single pkg in the developer install. It's a waste of space.

I've resolved this issue. On Solaris 9 x86, the default Java installation resides in /usr/j2se. The JavaHelp packages required by SMC install their files to this directory. The Java 5.0 SE installation instructions advise you to redirect the /usr/j2se link to /usr/jdk/jdk1.5.0 if you want Java 5.0 to be your default Java installation. If you do this, you will lose the JavaHelp files and SMC will break.
I resolved this issue by:
1) removing the JavaHelp packages (SUNWjhdem, SUNWjhdev, SUNWjhdoc, SUNWjhrt)
2) deleting the /usr/j2se directory
3) linking /usr/j2se to /usr/jdk/jdk1.50
4) reinstalling the JavaHelp packages (available on disc 2 of the installation set)
SMC now starts and runs normally. It uses the new Ocean laf which I think is much more attractive than Metal. Good work, Sun!

Javahelp

Hello, I am trying to use the serverhelp in javahelp 2.0. The following error occurs when trying to run the index.jsp page under the JavaHelpDemo context.
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.servlet.jsp.tagext.TagAttributeInfo.(Ljava/lang/String;ZLjava/lang/String;ZZ)V
I am using JBoss/tomcat 5.0 and deployed the javahelp using the ant command in the README file. I know this class exists in the javax.servlet.jar, but I believe the versions of TagAttributeInfo.class vary in the constructors depending on what version of Tomcat/JBoss's servlet/jsp jars are included. Any leads to the correct .jar file that contains the correct constructor arguments for the javahelp would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Jay

Hello again. Fixed my own problem, but there is a bug in the javahelp version 2.0 for serverhelp (jsp pages). I installed version 2.0 serverhelp on Tomcat 3.2 so I would be using the servlet.jar that contained the correct TagAttributeInfo class. The application runs as it should. The TagAttributeInfo class within Tomcat 4.1 and Tomcat 5.0's servlet-api.jar are the incorrect class definition for TagAttributeInfo and therefore the NoSuchMethod exception occurs.
Be aware of this bug. Are there any plans or version updates to fix this?

Problem in viewing a converted JavaHelp (jar) file (created using RH2002 to RoboHelp X5)

Hi,
I have a javahelp project (compressed javahelp) created using
RoboHelp 2002. The output files are jar files.
The source files are .mpj. When I view the existing jar files
without converting the project to .xpj I am able to view the jar
files.
However, this project needs to be upgraded to RHx5. During
conversion(.mpj to .xpj) everything seems to be working fine and
the javahelp files are generated. But when I try to view the jar
files nothing is diplayed.
I get the following error. Please see below.
Has anybody come across anything similar? Is there anything I
need to take care of before I upgrade to .xpj? I cannot locate the
glo.xml file in RH.
Best regards,
Urmi

Hi Colum,
Thanks for your reply.
Yes, I have gone through the Peter Grainge's article. It is
indeed very informative and I have installed the JDK and the JH
according to the instructions given therein. My installation seems
complete as the viewer works fine. The JDK version is 1.4.2_18 and
the JH version is 2.0. The environment variables have also been set
accordingly.
All this while I was thinking it is a Java issue so I have
tried out with different JDK versions.
But now I think it can be a tool issue because :
I can view the existing JavaHelp file with the current Java
viewer.(if I do not open the project in X5)
I can view Sun supplied sample jar files with the viewer.
I can create new JavaHelp files with RHX5 and the current JDK
and JH installation and view those files.
I cannot view the JavaHelp file if I convert the .mpj to .xpj
(the generate dialog works fine and says compilation is complete).
The Display button does not display the file. The view
command line command throws up the error mentioned in my earlier
mail.
Would appreciate any pointers.
Best regards,
Urmi

Javahelp display issues (RH2002 to RH9 upgrade)

Hi,
First of all, this forum has been a godsend as instalation was a nightmare. Thank you.
Here's my latest issue...
Compiled javahelp looks fine in the local viewer, but not after delivery (when opened through my product's Help menu). It doesn't honor the style sheet. (I'm using my own, not RHStyleMapping).
My Arial fonts display as Times New Roman, "<<" marks display at line breaks, some of my headings are teeny tiny (yep, that's the technical term ), etc.
Steps to recreate:
First time use in RH9: opened project by d-clicking the .mpj file (RH2002) and letting RH9 run through the upgrade process.
In Project Settings dialog, I selected javahelp as my primary output and my customized style sheet as CSS for Style Mapping.
Generated compressed javahelp with source files using JH 2.0
Confirmed .css file is in compressed jar.
I upgraded my java tools when I upgraded Robohelp
(to jh2.0 and jdk 1.5.0_06)
Any suggestions?

What is the make and model of your video card?
What is the number and date of the installed video driver?
Is that the latest release from nVidia, or AMD/ATI?
If it is not the latest, go to the nVidia, or AMD/ATI Web site, plug in your card, and your OS, then download and install the latest driver. Test.
Do not trust Windows, or any utility to tell you if you have the latest driver. Verify that from the mfgr's. Web site.
Good luck,

An " " symbol at the top of each JavaHelp page?

Hello all,
I have generated JavaHelp off an imported Word 2007 document on a Windows 7 box. Interestingly, an unsightly ">" (the greater than sign) is appearing at beginning of each help page when ported to my Fedora 13/Linux box. The preview of the JavaHelp on the Windows 7 machine (where I generated the JavaHelp) does not show this ">" at the top of each help page.
Any idea why the unexpected ">" is showing up at the top of each help page on Fedora/Linux box?
Thanks.
- Arefin

I'm also using version 9. I didn't have to set the JAVA_HOME variable. After I reinstalled RoboHelp and compiled my JavaHelp project for the very first time, it asked me where my Java and JavaHelp were installed (in two separate prompts after I clicked Save and Generate). After that, the > at the top of each file went away. However, when I did a search, it was still displaying the title of each of my search results as:
10 > >
5 > >
2 > >
When I compiled to a clean directory, this was fixed and again displayed the actual page title instead of the > symbol.
