Hi Jordi,

because of the reported WIN98-bug (14618) which occured in Help.java I just
diffed this file with version 1.6. Thereby I found something which I guess
is a result of your recent separation of tasks.

Up to version 1.7 a user got notified if an error occured during the
load-process of the help. Yet you took out this fragment because it would
cause a GUI-call which should not be made from a core-class (at least I
guess that's the reason).

I think this behavious is correct since I strongly support a separation of
gui and core-functionality. Yet shouldn't there be some kind of
notification? Maybe a thrown exception which the gui-part would be
responsible for to catch it? After all that's what you would expect from a
client-class, if it cannot fulfill the requested service, isn't it? Of
course this would mean quite some work on the gui-side.

I haven't searched around wether other core-classes have similar "issues".
If so, I would recommend a enhancement-request so that these issues do not
get lost over time. Do you (or anyone else) agree?

Though I guess right now there are some more urgent things to do...

Greetings,

Wolfram
