Thanks to Scott for the following comment added to the help wiki page:
"JDIC at least for us has had several problems. It doesn't do popup
browser windows well. It doesn't like showing up in any window other
than the main application window. These problems vary from platform to
platform (windows, osx, linux).

Sam and I are working on replacing it with a javaxpcom browser which
we will have a lot more control over. You can see some notes about
this here:
http://confluence.concord.org/display/CCTR/Embedding+Mozilla+in+Java+with+XPCOM

I'd recommend not spending time on JDIC. However, if getting a native
browser working sooner than later will have large impact, I will try
to find some time to work with you on it."

I think it would be up to the group to decide if this is critical
functionality to be added to the authoring tool. Based on previous
discussions, I think yes. However I'm not sure if there is a time
restriction on the goal, such as a date when this functionality is
required. Does anyone know?

As for how to do this with javahelp - I'm not attached to any
technique. If we can make it work using a javaxpcom browser or JDIC it
doesn't really matter. Scott - do you have any timeline on the
javaxpcom work?

Another alternative would be to find a wiki that might render pages
better in the current javahelp browser or to make a wiki space in
confluence that doesn't have lots of crazy formatting requirements.
I'm skeptical of these techniques because the html in most wikis
doesn't seem to be well formed anyway. I haven't looked into this at
all so if anyone has ideas there, it would be nice to hear about them.
