How do i view or access java docs offline? - java

I downloaded java docs or what i think was java docs from oracle. But i'm not really sure how to summon all that drama without going online or using eclipse.
By the way, I use jedit. (Yeah, baby. Hurts so good). I'm a student, and i need to limit my distractions and going online is my enemy right now. Any help would help. Thanks.

Use your webbrowser and open up the index.html page that's probably in the root directory of the docs.

Download Javadoc in HTML Help format for offline use. For Windows users only.

How do I check a clients Java Version?

I want to create an Executable Jar file that when run, checks the currently installed version of Java on that computer and displays it for the user. I have searched online but in vain, I cannot find any code that allows a Jar file to check. I know that the Java website has it ( http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp) I can't find a way to replicate it in Java Code. Any help would be very much appreciated.
Note: Sorry if this question is really stupid and has a really simple answer... I just spent half an hour trying to find a solution and I couldn't so I need your help! Thanks
Edit: I don't need the code for displaying it, just to get the version is enough for me thanks!
System.getProperty("java.version");
Calling System.getProperty("java.version"); will give you version of the installed JRE which is what you want. Also take a look at other System properties, you may find some of them also useful.

Setup Oracle Help Web(OHW) for Java applications

I need to setup an online help system for my Java application. Its totally swing based. On searching I found OHW is good.
Can anyone suggest me how to configure or setup OJW to an Java application. Any tutorial link will be very useful.
Thanks in advance...
I know I am not answering your question.. but we designed a help system for our java swing application as well. We felt html files were the best. The kind that has iframes and a small java script on the index page that will load the center frame based on a parameter you set in the URL. You can make context sensitive help with this. Also, there is a free editor out there for non-commercial application called helpndoc. Pretty good HTML editor and will generate the HTML files and/or chm file for you. http://www.helpndoc.com/
Also, if your java app is for a windows only system then you can go with just a chm file. You can open a chm file to show context sensitive help as well. The helpndoc tutorial shows you how.
If its cross platform then html files are the best.

Java Applets not working in IE9

Is there any script or code that solves this problem?
Simply I have an image player in my web site which does not work in IE9. I know there is a solution (Java Applet Not Working (Blank) in IE9) which remove the problem, but if a user have not sufficient knowledge of how Windows works, or the web site is just play on outdoor screens, it need to be fixed with code by developer. Here is my website: http://www.interactivity.com.au/
Do you know any solution on Windows?
Since in a nutshell, the reason they're not working is that they're being blocked by a security feature, by definition there's no way for your applet to get around it. If there was, then it'd be a bug in the filter, and if such a way was found, you'd expect the filter to then be fixed to prevent it.
Add a link on your site to a set of instructions on how to fix the problem.

Where can I find "Device" file to add to EclipseME java project?

I installed JavaME and EclipseME, and I'm trying to make a Hello World to my Nokia5530. But the imports are not working.
This page says that I need a "Device" file, but I don't know where to find it.. any idea?
Since it appears no on else is helping with this, I will start an answer, and put in my last comment into here.
OK, you need to install the Nokia SDK and then import it, as explained here, though your phone may not be series 60, you will need to d/l and then import the appropriate nokia sdk version: http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/Installing_Java_ME_development_tools_for_S60#Configuring_EclipseME
I haven't tried the suggestions here as I primarily develop on Windows at the moment, but the idea of using wine to install the SDK, and then move the files to an appropriate place on Linux sounds like a reasonable suggestion. I don't know if the suggestion below of compiling it yourself would be useful, but, there were some suggestions in the link below that may help you solve this particular problem.

Instructions Package for Java

I want to make a help/instructions page for my Java program but I really don't want to have to go through and program all the frames and searching and such. Is there a package or program that I can just insert the data into and it will read it and create the dialog? I couldn't seem to find anything about it on Google.
It doesn't have to look like this at all but I like having the table of contents and the search at least.

Java help system : https://javahelp.dev.java.net/
The windows help dialog you show is part of the Window Help subsystem. You could easily create a help file for that and launch it from your Java application, but it would be platform specific. If you want to implement cross-platform help functionality, you're probably going to have to implement it yourself, but you could probably do it simply by including a set of HTML resources and using an embedded lucene index to supply search functionalty.
Have you consider using a simple HTML based manual and/or website where all that information may be accessed through?
Pretty much like http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/ for instance where you have a main page and you can navigate the topics from there?
If that's a website ( rather than a local /doc directory ) you can have the extra benefit from having a full featured search engine index it for you.
See also: Google is the Help menu
After all, how many times do you use these help systems instead of searching the web?
