Hmm but constructing the string as so;

String t= "/" + dir + "/" + startPage;

does work. Strange.

Nope I'm afraid that using get resource as follows;

        public HTMLBrowser()
        {
         URL url;
         try
         {
         // Construct the URL
         String separator= System.getProperty("file.separator");
         String t= separator + dir + separator + startPage;
                        // DEBUG
                        System.out.println(t);
                        url= getClass().getResource(t);
         setPage(url);
         }
         catch (Exception e)
         {
            System.out.println( "Problem setting help homepage");
         }
           setEditable(false);
           addHyperlinkListener(new LinkListener(this));
       }

did not work.

this seems like a commonly asked question, but so far I haven't found
an answer that works.

How can I get my class to look at the help/index.html file from within
the jar?

getResource()
