[Svata] I`ve experienced this several times in Linux / JDK-1.2.2-j. Every time IDE startup hung when "Loading JSP". I`m unable to reproduce that on Windows NT.


[jglick] I`m not sure why it would occur only sometimes. Anyway, the exception should *not* be fatal, I should make it more robust. Line 259 should only *notify* ise and return null.

[jglick] OK, should now be more robust, i.e. error will still be notified but should not halt IDE startup. However, the problem may still be there--must determine why this help set is not found. It sh
ould be present in the docs/ folder under installation, or within the module JAR. Also ask Milan K why, if it is not there.
