JavaHelp is a good tool for help management system (help file can be local or on
remote server).
JavaHelp provide standard GUI with topic or index (if defined)

Yes and No. JavaHelp use xml files to define topic, aggregation... and html 3.2 for
contents.
So you can write doc directly in html or you can use cocoon to provide dynamicly
thoses files (xml + html). You can also use cocoon to generate staticly JavaHelp files
(best choose depends of update time rate).
If you use cocoon you need to define your content language.
