Notes
The original HTML documentation is available at java.sun.com. Please refer to this original documentation if you're not confident with the present document.
Due to some HTMLHelp limitations, there are some differences between this help file and the original HTML version of the documentation.
1. Java Applets
In most cases, Java 1 applets are running inside the HTMLHelp viewer, provided they're not embedded in the help (chm) file. They are stored in the applets directory, located at the same level as the help file. This folder is not required for browsing help, but if it is missing, applets will not be displayed.
Java 2 applets require the Java Plugin, which is not supported by the HTMLHelp viewer. These applets will not be displayed.
2. Documents that require a plugin
Plugins are not fully supported by the HTMLHelp viewer. Depending on the configuration of your machine, some problems may occur when viewing these files, for example PDF documents.
3. Multiple occurrences of an index keyword
If an index keyword points to more than one document, a page that lists all found occurrences is displayed. This page shows the title of every document in which the keyword appears, and if this keyword is a method, the parameters of this method. This detailed display has been preferred to the standard HTMLHelp "Topics Found" dialog box, to provide a faster and more efficient browsing of a large number of documents.
