I am trying to read html files from jar-archives and display them in a JEditorPane.
I am using the follwowing code, but the pages are not shown in the JEditorPane:

			

			JEditorPane HelpPane = new JEditorPane();
			

			HTMLEditorKit htmlKit = new HTMLEditorKit();
			

			HelpPane.setEditorKit(htmlKit);
			

			HelpPane.setContentType("text/html");
			

			try {
			

			JarFile jar = new JarFile("e:/java/phytophthora/lateblight/classes/PhytMod.jar");
			

			JarEntry jarE = new JarEntry(jar.getEntry("lateblight/docs/help.html"));
			

			if (jarE != null) {
			

			BufferedReader bf = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(jar.getInputStream(jarE)));
			

			long size = jarE.getSize();
			

			int chars_read = 0;
			

			char[] chars = new char[(int) size];
			

			while(bf.ready()) {
			

			chars_read += bf.read(chars, chars_read, (int)size - chars_read);
			

			}
			

			bf.close();
			

			text = new String(chars);
			

			HelpPane.setText(text);     //or HelpPane  = new JEditorPane("text/html", text); also doesn't work
			

			}
			

			}
			

			catch (IOException ex) {
			

			//exception handling...
			

			}
