URGENT: Launching JavaHelp

Question

Hi all.
When I try to call the javahelp set in my code absolutely nothing happens. No exceptions, nothing. I am sure that the file is accessed and that the actionlistener is called. I am also sure that jh.jar is in the classpath.
Please help!!! This is really really urgent!
Thanx.

Hi,
it took me some time to identify the relevant few lines from the hundreds you postedFile f = new File("help/helpset.hs");
URL url = f.toURL();
HelpSet hs = new HelpSet (null, url);
HelpBroker hb = hs.createHelpBroker();
new CSH.DisplayHelpFromSource(hb);Is this what you call when the action to display help is triggered? If yes then this is the problem because CSH.DisplayHelpFromSource does not do anything. It just returns an action listener. To use the actin listener returned by this method, it has to be attached to a GUI element such as a menu item or a button.
If you have a menu item to display help contents from for instance, you can do the followingJMenuItem mi = new JMenuItem("Help Contents");
mi.addActionListener(new CSH.DisplayHelpFromSource(someHelpBroker));With this the menu item will display help whenever it is selected.
