Try something like this:

String myUrl = "file:" + "help" + System.getProperty("file.separator") +
"helpFile.htm";

Note:  You may need to put a file separator or even more path info in front
of the "help" directory.

try {
   JEditorPane.setPage(myUrl);
}
catch (MalformedURLException e) {
   e.printStackTrace();
   System.out.println("Bad URL: " + myUrl);
}
