[news.eclipse.platform] Re: Help Files Offline

[Denis Roy <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I find it odd that your computer would call home for help.

If you're referring to http://help.eclipse.org, the entire help 
documentation and web server is shipped within the Eclipse IDE, so you 
could theoretically add an entry in your local 'hosts' file and define this:

# Localhost used for Eclipse help
127.0.0.1    help.eclipse.org

That way, instead of hitting help.eclipse.org, it would hit the web 
server on your local workstation.
