I tried to integrate eclipse help into an RCP application. I created a
separate plugin for the help and I packaged the plugin with the RCP app.
I added the required plugins to the feature.xml like tomcat, webapp etc.
(7 in total).
When I launch the application within my workspace the HTML help files
show up fine. However, when I build the application and run it
separately (where the plugins are all jars), I get an HTTP 404 file not
found when I try to access the help.
Any Ideas
thx

If you're Jar'ing that, I'd expect you to see .log messages saying the help server doesn't start ... which would give you a network failure when connecting to the server.

Thanks for the help. Arne figured out the problem for me. I just needed
to also unpack the help.webapp plugin along with the tomcat. Now it works
thx
