[JIRA] Created: (CAY-886) CM Usability:Help Menu Item with User Guide Link

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:
