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

Hi Lee Anne

When opening CCE, during the loading process a small window pops up saying 
"Webpage unavailable while offline". I click on "Stay Offline".

The Workbench Window opens up.

"Help View" on RHS of Main Workbench Window: Tab reads "Help". Thats all.  
In the tab window there appears the message in large blue letters "The 
webpage is unavailable because you are offline".

When I go to the top menu bar and click on "Help" -> "Dynamic Help" the 
contents of the "Help View" window on RHS changes to a list as follows:

Main heading: "Related Topics"
Sub-headings: "About" -> "Workbench"; "Perspectives"; "Workbench 
Management"
             "Dynamic Help" -> "Navigation Aids"; "Help View"; "C/C++ 
Menubar"; etc.

If I click on About -> Workbench: Message comes up Webpage unavailable 
while offline".
This happens with the remaining two options under "About" as well.

The same response occurs with the list under "Dynamic Help", starting with 
"Navigation Aids" up until "Introduction to Help". Under that appears 
"More results ...". 

When I click on "More Results" the window content changes : Heading is 
"Search" and a list of Search Results appears for a default search for 
["Help view" OR "C/C++ perspective"]. Clicking on any of the active links 
produces the same result - "Webpage not available offline".

When I go to the Help menu and select Help Contents the complete screen is 
taken over with a window headed " You are offline", and the message in the 
window is " The webpage is unavailable because you are ofline".

With reference to your request for the .doc files in eclipse plugins 
folder, there is only one: com.ti.ccstudio.mainhelp.doc_3.2.0.jar

This answers your questions of your first of second (set of) postings.

Now related to your questions raised after you downloaded CCE and 
installed it.

You asked if I disabled all network connection capability in the OS. The 
answer is no. I simply installed the OS and just never connect to the 
internet when that hard drive is connected. I simply physically unplug the 
HDD which I use for internet access and plug in the development platform 
HDD. No OS settings were changed.


The "hosts" file in Windows\system32\drivers\etc\ folder contains only the 
following line which has no # preceding it:
127.0.0.1       localhost

I tried entering the term "localhost" in the Window -> Preference, Help-> 
Help Server, "Host Name or IP Address" field, applied it, closed 
application, reopened CCE but no change took place. All help is still 
"Unavailable offline".
