Re: [Springframework-rcp-dev] Advice on JavaHelp

[Peter De B. <pet...@gm...>]

replace the processComponent in the interceptor to this:

[snip]
        public void processComponent(String propertyName, JComponent
component) {
            String key =3D getHelpKey(propertyName);

            if(broker.getHelpSet().getCombinedMap().isValidID(key,
broker.getHelpSet())) {
                broker.enableHelpKey(component, getHelpKey(propertyName),
broker.getHelpSet());
            }
        }
[/snip]
