Am using JavaHelp with a java desktop application. The application is developed with the NetBeans 7 IDE and pc with Windows 7 OS. I have the topic files created as HTML files , helpset and the navigation files. The search engine is specified in the helpset file as shown below:
<view>
<name>Search</name>
<label>Search</label>
<type>javax.help.SearchView</type>
<data engine="com.sun.java.help.search.DefaultSearchEngine">JavaHelpSearch</data>
</view>
But anytime I try to use the search system in the javahelp view , I get the following error.
Exception while creating engine named com.sun.java.help.search.DefaultSearchEngine for view: javax.help.SearchView@fd25f2b
