Thanks, Curtis. The port number does
indeed remain the same between IDE instances. Unfortunately, after IDE restart
links in the (still-open) help browser are no-op. Neither topic links nor the
TOC respond to clicking – there’s a bit of hourglass, then nothing.
Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Steve

Assigning a static port number for helpin external browser
Hi Steve,
You
can use the port preference for the org.eclipse.help.appserver plugin:
http://help.eclipse.org/help31/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/misc/help_preferences.html
This
preference is also exposed in the UI under the Help -> Help Server
preference page.
Thanks,
Curtis

[platform-ua-dev] Assigning a static port
number for help in external browser
|
|
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
