Hello,

I've created a jar, which contains also description.html. Now in my main
class I want to show it on the screen using JEditorPane. But to do that I
need a path to that file (it works when I specify the whole path, like
file:///c:/myFiles/.../description.html, but I want to make it more elastic
and get it from jar archive).
How can I get it??

Greetz, setesh

URL url = getClass().getResource("description.html");
tp.setPage(url);

This is an FAQ (only that this group hasn't got a Usenet FAQ for a long
time ...):

Look up
Class.getResource()
Class.getResourceAsStream()

And if you have a lot of HTML help info to display consider using Suns
JavaHelp extension.
