I believe Niels' question related to attempting to run the .jar file created by the conversion process, not the steps needed to convert the DITA project into a .jar file.
Having carefully followed the steps for associating the Java Help complier with XMLmind (including comparing my screen shots with those supplied by Hussein) I have no issues creating a .jar file, but like Niels I get the "no main manifest attribute " message when I try to run it. The same command successfully runs the .jar samples that ship with jh2.0, but won't work on any javahelp system created by XMLmind.

This is clearly documented here: http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/dita/help-2.html#map_menu --- Convert to Java Help Converts the document being edited to a .jar file for use by the Java(tm) Help system. Requires: 1) Download and install JavaHelp Opens in new window. 2) Declare the Java(tm) Help indexer, jhindexer (jhindexer.bat on Windows), as the helper application associated to files having a "application/x-java-help-index" MIME type. This can be specified by using the Preferences dialog box, Helper Applications section. --- > > Next problem - jh2.0 installed yesterday, java 1.7.0_25 up and running > ... but an error message when I try to open the JavaHelp I've made from > a ditamap. Am I using the right java command? or have I missed something else? I've already answered your question by describing step by step how to associate application/x-java-help-index to jhindexer.bat (It's jh2.0_install_dir/javahelp\bin\jhindexer.bat NOT java -jar fullmapWH.jar) My answer even included a screenshot. I really don't see what more I could do. May be you didn't receive this email. Please find below a copy of my detailed answer: 1) Please select Options|Preferences, "Helper Applications" section. 2) Click "Add". 3) Please specify application/x-java-help-index in the "MIME type" field of the "Helper Application Editor" dialog box. 4) Please specify C:\Users\a548040\jh2.0\javahelp\bin\jhindexer.bat "%F" in the "Helper application" field of the "Helper Application Editor" dialog box. See attached screenshot.
