    CM Usability:Help Menu Item with User Guide Link
    ------------------------------------------------

                     Key: CAY-886
                     URL: https://issues.apache.org/cayenne/browse/CAY-886
                 Project: Cayenne
              Issue Type: New Feature
              Components: CayenneModeler GUI
                Reporter: Thomas Bernhard
                Assignee: Andrus Adamchik

    CM already has a nice User Guid that comes with the installation in:
    "cayenne-xxx\doc\Documentation\Modeler Guide\index.html"

    Add a menu item under Help that starts the above URL with the default browser.

    This is very simple to implement, it's done by many desktop applications to allow the users to quickly access the docs, and there are many examples how to do it in Java. One of them that just works:
    http://www.centerkey.com/java/browser/
    or it could be combined with this one:
    http://www.ulfdittmer.com/code/BrowserLauncher.java
    to work even better (until Java6 is used - because it solves the problem)

    More details about starting the borwser here:
