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

[Lee Anne <nospam_kowalskilee@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Nic,

In addition to what Denis wrote, it might be the setting of your Help 
Server preference.

Please go to menu Window->Preferences to open the Preferences dialog, 
and then expand the Help branch in the left hand column, until you see 
the Help Server entry. Select the "Help Server", and see what is defined 
in the two fields:
'Host name or IP address'
'Server port'

Would you please post here what is entered in those two fields for your 
installation?

If there's a remote name or IP address specified, then try clearing the 
fields and click Apply. My fields are blank and when I request Help, I 
get the standard local Eclipse help (as Denis's post indicated).

Hope this helps,
Lee Anne
