Looking for an open-source Java Help API

Question

I'm working on an application written in Java.
I want to allow the user to read the "Help" of the application.

I'm basically looking for a Java free open-source equivalent for Microsoft chm. I'd like it to have support for "Find" and tree-like structures.

I am willing to write one component myself but I was wondering if existent alternatives already existed before attempting to reinvent the wheel...

Are there any options available?

Answer 1

Take a look at JavaHelp, defined by JSR 97.

Answer 2

Ever heard of JavaHelp? I hear its good!

Answer 3

Have you had a look at http://www.pdfhelp.org which offers a free PDF based alternative?
