I had to write the online help for a set of Swing applications and my
boss wanted to go with JavaHelp. So we purchased Quadralay Webworks Pro
(that works with Framemaker) and with lots of fiddling and testing, we
finally got it to work with the application. We were able to provide
context-senstive help with the F1 key and the ? Button.

So if it means anything to ya, you can use Frame and Webworks to produce
decent JavaHelp for a Swing app.
