[news.eclipse.newcomer] Help in Eclipse under XP Still Not Working

[Jim Stanley <jim_stanley@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Folks,

I'm still trying to get the help engine going under XP and am having no 
luck.  Ron suggested trying to start it up independently and I'm a 
little confused translating Linux to XP.  As I understand it, there are 
a few possible command lines to get this going:

java -classpath (eclipse_home)/plugins/org.eclipse.help.base_3.0.1\
  -command start -eclipsehome (eclipse_home) -port 8081

Which I'm translating to XP as:
java -classpath "C:\Program Files\Eclipse\org.eclipse.help.base_3.0.1" 
-command start -eclipsehome "C:\Program Files\Eclipse" -port 8081

This gives me the message that the -command option is invalid in the JVM 
(1.4.1)

Trying:
java -classpath "C:\Program 
Files\Eclipse\org.eclipse.help.base_3.0.1\helpbase.jar" -command start 
-eclipsehome "C:\Program Files\Eclipse" -port 8081

gives me the same result.

Ron also had another reference to "infocenter", so I tried the following:

java -classpath "C:\Program 
Files\Eclipse\org.eclipse.help.base_3.0.1\helpbase.jar" 
org.eclipse.help.standalone.Infocenter -command start -eclipsehome 
"C:\Program Files\Eclipse" -port 8081

which now tells me it can't find the class 
org/eclipse/help/standalone/Infocenter.

Could someone *please* tell me what's going on?  This is a brand-new 
machine, so there should be little on it to screw things up.  I've done 
some logging before, so if anyone could help out a newbie to try and 
start a log to see what's going on, I'd be obliged.  But I'm stuck at 
square one without being able to see any help.

Sorry for the frustration.
