Description Iulia Vasii CLA 2014-10-06 03:14:06 EDT
Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers
Version: 4.4.0.20140612-0500
Build id: 20140612-0600

Steps to reproduce:
- create a C/C++ project
- open Debug Configurations
- create a launch configuration (C/C++ Application, C/C++ Remote Application,...)
- open context help (F1 or ? button)
No context help is opened.
- in a "C/C++ Application" or "C/C++ Remote Application" launch go to any tab and open context help
Help area is opened with the message "The context help for this user interface element could not be found"

Patch is available:
https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/34433/

Changes:

- C/C++ Remote Application -> Main Tab
"org.eclipse.rse.internal.remotecdt.launchgroup" context id doesn't exist, replaced by "org.eclipse.cdt.launch.remote.launchgroup"; context id was lost after moving remote launch plugin to DSF

- Link context help in "C/C++ Application", "C/C++ Remote Application" and "GDB Hardware Debugging" launch configurations tab groups to existing "C/C++ Development User Guide > Getting Started > Debugging projects / Reference > C/C++ Run and Debug" help.

- Fix context help in Main, Debugger, Arguments tabs, link to existing doc

- add context help in "GDB Hardware Debugging" -> Debugger tab
Comment 2 Iulia Vasii CLA 2014-10-06 04:32:33 EDT
This bug can be a fix for Bug 358402. What it doesn't solve though is the help in Environment, Source and Common tabs. CDT launch configurations use
org.eclipse.debug.ui.EnvironmentTab
org.eclipse.debug.ui.CommonTab
org.eclipse.debug.ui.sourcelookup.SourceLookupTab
with help defined in
/org.eclipse.jdt.doc.user/contexts_Debugger.xml
Eclipse IDE for C/C++ doesn't come with jdt plug-in installed and therefore these context ids won't be found.
