Does anyone know how to access HTML files that are located in a JAR
file?

I have an application that is distributed as a JAR file. The
applications' help files (HTML) are loacted within the JAR file in a
"help/" subdirectory. When the user is running the application, the
application provides code to view the help files. This works fine.

I would like for the user to be able to access the help files off-line,
application not running, with out extracting them from the JAR. Is there
a way to use a standard browser to view these HTML documents from inside
the JAR?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.....
