Java HTML files and JEditor Pane

I am trying to figure out how to read an HTML file into a JEditorPane.

I have the following code:

JEditorPane editorPane = new JEditorPane();
URL helpURL = MainFrame.class.getResource("user-manual.html");

Now my problem is that the user-manual.html file needs to be in the bin folder that holds the MainFrame class otherwise it will not work. Now my problem is my directory has to look like this:

as1/
as1/doc/
as1/doc/user-manual.html
as1/doc/system-doc.html
as1/doc/images/
as1/src/

How do I go about reading the user-manual.html file into the URL?

possible reasons -

  1. The html files might have been stored at wrong place.
  2. The setContent method might not have been set to "text/html"

How about this?

getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("as1/doc/user-manual.html");

The method Class.getResource accept also semi-relative adresses, like this:

 URL helpURL = MainFrame.class.getResource("/as1/doc/user-manual.html");

Then the path is rooted at the jar-file (or classpath directory) instead of the package directory.

You can either add the items directory to your classpath and continue access it as you are now or inside the directory structure as:

MainFrame.class.getResource("as1/doc/user-manual.html");
