JavaHelp ToolTipText

Hello,
In a multilingual application JavaHelp ToolTipTexts of the toolbar are always given in the language of the default locale. If I do a
    helpbroker.setLocale(variableLocale);
    System.out.println(helpbroker.getLocale()); // this is fine.
    System.out.println(HelpUtilities.getString(variableLocale,"tip.previous"));whatever the locale, the text is always the same.
jdk 1.4.1
Is this known?

Hello Jana,
thank you for your response. I do have a ResourceBundle, but use it up till now only for setting the OptionPane and the FileChooser via the UIManager, e.g.
    UIManager.put("OptionPane.cancelButtonText", cancelText);
    UIManager.put("FileChooser.upFolderToolTipText",
               myBundle.getString("upFolderTTT"));Unlike JavaHelp, JFileChooser and JOptionPane do not have a method "setLocale(...)" - so I thought the procedure would be different there.
Off course, I can try again with the UIManager, but for JavaHelp I don't know where to find the corresponding key names. Do you have an idea?
Bye
Joerg

Error in JavaHelp

Hello:
I have JWS app I've been working on for a long time. I just added JavaHelp to it. I got it all working nicely on my local machine. When I went to deploy in JWS, I ran into a permission problem. JavaHelp is included as an extension, and I've set <security> to <all-permissions/> in both JNLPs, but I still get the following exception:
Parsing failed for null
Exception caught while parsing nulljava.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.util.PropertyPermission user.home read)

Thanks for the quick response. I downloaded your app (very good idea BTW!) and ran it against my JNLP file. It reported a number of issues to me, but I don't understand them. I subsequently located the JNLP spec 6.0.10 here and went through it carefully. (I ended up discovering some nice features I added to my file.) I ended up with the following file, but the errors seem to be the same. The output is below the JNLP.
Is it possible that your app is analyzing against an outdated version of the JNLP spec? It's all that I can figure. Perhaps you could explain just one or two of the node errors to get me started. Thanks again! Dan

Why the same function ToolTipText behaves differently in Jar and in Class

Hi All! In my applet I use two similar statements from javax.swing:
jListTeaSortSelect.setToolTipText("To stop the alarm just click over here.");
jProgressBar1.setToolTipText("To stop the alarm just click over here.");
Both work correctly when I run my applet from classes.
Problem: When I run it from jar, composed from the same classes, second tool tip does not appear.
I have no idea on where to get a hint to the solution. Could that be that the problem is caused by other graphical components or by the layout of the container?
The applet and JAR in question with source code can be found on
http://www.kobylkin.net/TeaTimer.htm , and the source code is included below in this letter as well..
Thanks!

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.

Open hyperlinks in a web browser in JavaHelp

Hi,
I am developing a helpsystem using JavaHelp 1.1.3. The problem is that I am unable to open an external weblink (e.g. www.google.com) in a browser.
When I try to open the weblink the application just hangs.
Please let me know if there is a workaround.
Regards
Ravi

The description for Javahelp 2.0 RC says this is because of the sandbox rules that apply within JavaHelp.
You could try setting application policies for the JavaHelp jars/classes.
hope this helps,

Swing application with JavaHelp crashes outside Netbeans IDE.

Hi guys I have developed a small swing application in Netbeans IDE. I used the following code inside the IDE for JH.
public void createHelp()
       try {
               URL hsURL = new URL("jar:file:eDictionaryHelp.jar!/eDictionaryHelp/eDictionary.hs");
               hs = new HelpSet(null, hsURL);
       catch (Exception ee)
        // Say what the exception really is
        System.out.println( "HelpSet " + ee.getMessage());
        System.out.println("HelpSet "+ helpHS +" not found");
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(new JFrame(), ee.getMessage(), "Error", ERROR_MESSAGE);
        hb = hs.createHelpBroker();
   }When I run the program inside the IDE and and click on the corresponding MenuItem.. JavaHelp comes up as it should! No problems with that.
But when I build the project and tried to run it from the .jar file in the PROJECT_HOME/dist/ the swing got displayed till this function was called. and then it simply crashed.
Investigating further and commenting out one line at a time and compiling I found out that whenever the hs = new HelpSet(null, hsURL); is encountered, the app crashes (it doesnt throw any error).
But as I said this is not the case when i run and compile inside the IDE. I only get this problem when running the app from outside the IDE.
I have tried all kinds of combinations of the URL .. for eg ( I am aware of Bug 4149782)
ClassLoader cl = this.getClass().getClassLoader();
try {
               URL hsURL = HelpSet.findHelpSet(cl, helpHS);
.What can be the problem guys? Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Anyone has an answer on this?
I am facing the same problem.. I am using NetBeans 5.5
arijit_datta, do u have a solution for this problem already?
Thanks,

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

I have found the following that might help.

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?

RoboHelp 10 fails to build JavaHelp Search

When I generate JavaHelp with RoboHelp 10 I have the error below in the console:

In the working directoty used for JavaHelp, the "myProject_JavaHelpSearch" sub-directory contains:
DOCS
OFFSETS
TMAP
The error is not fatal and RoboHelp do generate the JavaHelp file. The JavaHelps displays TOC, Index, and the project pages as expected, but when I try using the "Search" tab in the generated JavaHelp, it does not work.
If I generate a Microsoft HTML Help or WebHelp, the "Search" tab works fine.
My project is a former RoboHelp 9.1 project converted to RoboHelp 10. It was working fine on Windows XP Pro Us (32 bits) + RH 9.1, I'm running now RH 10 on Windows 8 Pro French 64 bits.
Thanks in advance for any help.

There is nothing there about Rh10 and it is not a topic I will be updating. Sorry but JavaHelp is not a popular output. Flare does not even offer it for reasons stated in the page on my site.

How to set icon in JavaHelp frame?

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 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.

I need help on to set the url for mapping JavaHelp
Inside my JavaHelp content, i used to have a main topic and sub topic, for example:
1.0 Mathematics
1.2.1 Algebra
in map.jhm file. how can i try to link direct to 1.2.1 Algebra?
example link in my map.jhm
<mapID target="MATHS" url="MATH/MATHEMATICS.html#1.2.1. ALGEBRA" />
but cannot directly point to the MATHEMATICS.html#1.2.1. ALGEBRA. it go straight to MATHEMATICS.html
really appreciate any help on this
Thanks
Regards

No, you can't use this for pagination on a desktop device.

Please help: can bullets look normal in JavaHelp?

When I generate JavaHelp (using RoboHelp) and preview, the bullets have prongs sticking out of them, instead of being smooth. Has anyone else encountered this? Is it a RoboHelp problem or a JavaHelp problem? Please help! I have to create compressed JavaHelp, and it's horribly ugly right now.
Thanks!

I know of no way to make a 4:3 hi-def movie. Unless you just want to crop off the sides -- but then you'll just have a widescreen video with black bars on the sides!

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

Exception thrown while doing a full text search in JavaHelp

hi,
I am using JavaHelp 2.0_02 in my web application. The Table of contents (TOC ) and the[b] Index work absolutely fine. But when I try to do a text search i get the following exception ..

My Helpset(.hs) file is located in the Help folder of my application and the entry for search is as follows
<view>
    <name>Search</name>
    <label>Search</label>
    <type>javax.help.SearchView</type>
    <data engine="com.sun.java.help.search.DefaultSearchEngine">JavaHelpSearch</data>
   </view>
</helpset>and the jh.jar file is located in the applications classpath.
and I have successfully done the indexing using jhindexer
I searched through many sites including the java forum.. but not able to find a solution.
Can anyone help me and point out where I could have made a mistake or how to go about this
thanks in advance

I had approximate the same problem, and I've fixed it. In my jar file the javaHelpSearch Folder was named with a leading lower case "j". But in my helpset.hs it was with an upper Case "J"
<name>Search</name>
    <label>Search</label>
    <type>javax.help.SearchView</type>
    <data engine="com.sun.java.help.search.DefaultSearchEngine">JavaHelpSearch</data>
   </view>When the helpset is called from a folder: windows ignore it, but when the helpset is called from into a jar you must type it correct!
