[news.eclipse.tools] Re: Eclipse Help hyperlinks do nothing - reinstall

[John Clarke <clarkej@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Problem solved. In Preferences for the Help Server, I Restored Defaults 
then restarted Eclipse.

The Help Server window states 'Internal Application Server configuarion. 
The server is used internally by the help system.'

The server has to be restarted for the prefereences to take effect.
