Help doesn't launch after exporting product [message #453548] Wed, 02 August 2006 07:05 Go to next message

Hello!

I have integrated Eclipse help system into my application.

When I start the product within Eclipse the help system launches as
expected.

But when exporting the product help system doesn't launch. Absolutely
nothing happens when I press the help menu although I already unpacked
the plugins jar which contains the help files (which is necessary for
Eclipse Version 3.1.2).

What should I do?

Kind regards and thanks in advance,
Robert

Actually I found out why help didn't launch after export.

Since the plugin which includes help system is exported as a jar file,
in Eclipse 3.1.2 you have to unpack the jar file. I knew that and I did
it as the first step after export.

But the first startup seems to expect the jar file. So when I start the
application after export once as the first step and unpack the plugin
jar file as a second step help system launches.

Regards,
Robert

Interesting -- I have the same problem (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=150333), but
*which* of the four exported org.eclipse.help jars should I unpack? (There are 15 possible
combinations, other than what I have now, all four still as jars.)

And why do I not see a jar or a directory for my own help plugin? (Is there some special Eclipse
3.1.2 setting I should use?)

thanks,
Paul
