you are correct, the jde_meta.html that was being written contained 4 src= lines. Only the line pointing to the requested document was relative to an http link the rest work pointing to a non-existint doc directory under my jdk_home.
The fix I made was to invert lines 2 and 3 from this snippet: Origional: > (if (string= (jde-help-docset-get-type temp) "JDK API") > (setq dir (jde-file-to-url (expand-file-name "docs/api" >(jde-get-jdk-dir)))) > (setq dir (jde-file-to-url (jde-help-docset-get-dir temp)))) Changed: > (if (string= (jde-help-docset-get-type temp) "JDK API") > (setq dir (jde-file-to-url (jde-help-docset-get-dir temp))) > (setq dir (jde-file-to-url (expand-file-name "docs/api" >(jde-get-jdk-dir))))) I tried your new function and it seems to be okay. But in examing your if it seems it will return the local path if the document exists otherwise it will return the remote path. I may be reading it wrong though. If I'm reading it correctlly I would argue that it is giving the wrong result, if I've set my docset to use a remote set of documents then I would expect them to come from there not from my local file system.
