Thanks Ed for helping out with the Admin console OLH. We couldn't get
this far without your help, THANKS.
The help jar is published under the subdirectories with name ending in
-help under
http://download.java.net/maven/glassfish/org/glassfish/admingui/
eg,

http://download.java.net/maven/glassfish/org/glassfish/admingui/console-common-help/
http://download.java.net/maven/glassfish/org/glassfish/admingui/console-web-plugin-help/

please pick up 3.0-b04 which is the latest set.

Snjezanna will be bundling this in the nightly build soon, hopefully
before end of this week, by then you won't have to install the help jars
yourself.

thanks
Anissa.
