hi all,
i'd like to create a help menu for my java application (swing gui). this should display some html sites where the functions of the application are explained. what is a good way to do this? it is easy to display html sites in a jframe? for me, it would also be ok to just open a html browser window with the html files. is this easier?
does anyone has a tipp or tut how to do it (good and simple)?
thx gon

That's what javahelp is good for: http://java.sun.com/products/javahelp/

mh, this seems a bit oversized for my application. i have only few html sites to display. javahelp would probably be bigger then the actual application. isn't it easier to just display them in a popup window? if yes, how do i do this? i havent much experience with gui stuff...

I think a JEditorPane can display HTML.
