I'm wanting to create a context-sensitive help system for an application.

Is there a java tool to do this?  (analogous to WinHelp on MS Windows)

Is there support in JBuilder? I've searched the documentation (using 
Find) and found nothing relevent. I used to work with Delphi on Windows 
and there was great support - help indexes for components etc if I 
remember correctly.

Or do I do key-stroke listener on the app and handle everything myself?
