Re: [platform-ua-dev] Assigning a static port number for help in externa

[Dejan Glozic <dejan@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Steven,

Help preference page has a server and port number entries. If you specify a
fixed port number there, it will be used for each invocation (providing
that they port number is valid).

Hello ? Is it possible to specify that the IDE should use the same port
number for retrieving help? It appears that Eclipse changes the port number
on IDE restart when an external browser is used.

I?m not using infocenter, where I see a port number can be specified. This
is local help. The problem goes like this:

1 User is in the IDE, launches help (in an external browser) to work
through a tutorial.
2 The tutorial requests that the user change workspace, or restart the IDE.
3 The browser instance remains open, but when the IDE has restarted, its
links can no longer be reached. The user has to restart help and find the
topic they were in to keep going.

Thanks,
Steve
