Re: [platform-help-dev] Significant Problems with WSWB 2.0.2 version of Eclipse

Wendy,

Have you called the startup() method before calling displayHelp() ?
In some JDK's you need to compile your java code with -noclassgc to make
sure global static variables are not garbage collected. See if this applied
to you.

I am using the standalone help engine in an application, WSWB 2.0.2 branded
version of eclipse.

Before migrating from eclipse brand to WSWB brand, I wrote a test driver.
The test driver works fine, but the integration in the real code fails with
the following:
Could not display help:
/com.ibm.storage.essisa.doc/olc_pnl_crtnwlcu_19oapf.html

(This is the result of the call: Global.helpSystem.displayHelp
("/com.ibm.storage.essisa.doc/olc_pnl_crtnwlcu_19oapf.html"); )

The same code is used to launch the same file in both programs - the only
difference is that the real code has a reference to a static helpSystem
object (the Global.helpSystem) and the driver code does not.  This worked
fine in the previous version of eclipse that I was using in the real code.
Anyone had any issues like this, or any ideas on where to start debugging?
I'm stumped.
