Thanks for the report!

Comment 2 Berthold Daum CLA 2008-06-13 16:15:35 EDT 
Found the cause:
When entering something in field "Commands" and attribute "href" is created. But when reading from source, an attribute "serialization" is expected.
BTW, what does it do? When invoking context sensitive help, the Help window does not show any command!

Fix

Good call on the incorrect attribute naming.

If you add a help command to the context help you should get a new entry that looks similar to the topics (will have a special icon though).  You can open views, dialogs, wizards, etc.  Most of the support was added in 3.2 see http://help.eclipse.org/help32/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/whatsNew/platform_isv_whatsnew.html
