You might want to try a read-only JEditorPane in your application if your help files are simple enough. I've been using it for live interaction with my 3D model in an applet, and in that context, it's a really troublesome class. For simple display of help files from a URL, though, it might be the ticket. > It would be nice if there is a way to detect whether a browser is > already running so that it doesn't startup another copy ... but I guess running > another copy is also fine. No concern about that if you open your own pane. > Ideally, this would be a platform-independent method. JEditorPane is as platform-independent as Java. As usual, you're on your own determining whether that's good enough.
