RC6 - open help > help contents - enter 'IContextMenuConstants' -> No matches found API reference would be http://127.0.0.1:53888/help/topic/org.eclipse.jdt.doc.isv/reference/api/org/eclipse/jdt/ui/IContextMenuConstants.html
Sorry, my fault. I happend to have configured a scope that expluded the API Reference.
Sorry again, still doesn't work. While putting the scope to 'All Topics' helped me finding help for 'ITypeInfoRequestor', I still doesn't for IContextMenuConstants.
Are you running with the doc plugin in your workspace and a run-time workbench? The javadocs only get added to the isv doc plugins during build, so if you check out from CVS it won't have it and won't find it.
It's a normal startup from an installed Eclipse. It's with I20060526-0010 and I have other searches that don't seem to work. E.g. 'JUnit' result in 0 matches. Same on Dani's machine. The log says !ENTRY org.eclipse.help.base 4 4 2006-05-26 11:15:03.183 !MESSAGE Help documentation could not be indexed completely. !SUBENTRY 1 org.eclipse.help.base 4 4 2006-05-26 11:15:03.183 !MESSAGE Help document /org.eclipse.gef.doc.isv/notices.html cannot be opened. !SUBENTRY 1 org.eclipse.help.base 4 4 2006-05-26 11:15:03.183 !MESSAGE Help document /org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/api/org/eclipse/ui/ide/fileSystem/package-summary.html cannot be opened. !SUBENTRY 1 org.eclipse.help.base 4 4 2006-05-26 11:15:03.193 !MESSAGE Help document /org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/api/org/eclipse/jface/menus/package-summary.html cannot be opened. !SUBENTRY 1 org.eclipse.help.base 4 4 2006-05-26 11:15:03.193 !MESSAGE Help document /org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/api/org/eclipse/jface/layout/package-summary.html cannot be opened. It would be very bad it the missing files can block the index to complete for the other files.
Note that I have WTP RC2 as extra plugins as well. With that I get 1 match for 'JUnit', but in WTP. It is mentioned many times in JDT, so that's still strange.
What is your locale?
en_US
I tested with I20060526-0010, WTP 1.5 RC2 + dependencies, on en_US locale, and I get many JDT results. I also get the same log errors, so I don't think it's because of those problems. The only thing I've seen like this is when using a non-english locale.. see bug 124688. It would actually be consistent with what you're seeing - results from WTP only, because they don't appear to have their content pre-indexed, and that bug only affects pre-indexed docs. Could you double check the log to make sure it was not in some other locale? Or, have you run the same workspace and/or configuration with a non-english locale in the past?
I don't think that I only see WTP result. I also have JDT result, but not all. As mentioned in comment 2, I find IContextMenuConstants but not ITypeInfoRequestor. The local setting I got from Help > About > Configuration. I could well be that this workspace was also opened in a different locale.
Only the package overviews are indexed by help, not the class specific javadocs. When I search for both ITypeInfoRequestor and IContextMenuConstants, I get links to the package overviews as expected (using en_US). Martin, are you still able to reproduce this on 3.3RC4?
Using I20110427-1300 I find matches for both IContextMenuConstants and ITypeInfoRequestor. Is this different from your results? Are there any other examples of strings that are not found when searching the documentation?
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant. If the bug is still relevant, please remove the "stalebug" whiteboard tag.
