For launching JBuilder3's help, see here:

Since this might be useful for Windows users too, Windows users can use the following Windows batch file version:

-------------------------START OF BATCH SCRIPT------------------------

@echo off

::----------------------------------------------------------------------
:: JBuilder6 Help Startup Batch-file based on Joi Ellis Unix BASH script
::----------------------------------------------------------------------

:: ---------------------------------------------------------------------
:: Before you can run the JBuilder Help, please, specify the location of
:: the directory JBuilder6 is installed on your system.
:: The JBuilder6 supplied JDK will be used to start the JBuilder Help.
:: ---------------------------------------------------------------------

set JBHOME=D:\JBuilder6

:: ---------------------------------------------------------------------
:: If you have correctly set the JBuilder HOME path, then in most cases
:: you will not need to change the settings below.
:: ---------------------------------------------------------------------

set JAVARUNTIME=%JBHOME%\jdk1.3.1\bin\java
set JBLIB=%JBHOME%\lib
set JBDOC=%JBHOME%\doc
set CLASSP=%JBLIB%\dx.jar;%JBLIB%\dt.jar;%JBLIB%\jbuilder.jar;%JBLIB%\help.jar
set MAINCLASS=com.borland.primetime.help.viewer.ViewerFrame
%JAVARUNTIME% -cp "%CLASSP%" %MAINCLASS% %JBDOC%\ jbuilder qs/shortcuts.html

You can run the Help Viewer in a separate VM, so you can access help while in a modal dialog is being displayed.  Add the line of code to the JBuilder.config file located in the JBuilder/bin directory:


  vmparam -Dcom.borland.jbuilder.help.vm=true


If you prefer to not edit JBuilder.config, try placing the line in a failed named lib/ext/help.config instead.
