Hi, I'm looking for a little assistance getting the Eclipse Help System to
work with my RCP.

I have all the required plug-ins set up and the help system works in my
RCP on my machine fine. However having tried it on another machine, it
does not work and shows the following error:
-------------------------------
HTTP ERROR: 500
Unable to compile class for JSP
RequestURI=/help/index.jsp

Powered by Jetty://
-------------------------------


After a bit of investigation, I've discovered this is because the other
machine does not have a JDK installed, and therefore cannot find the
required tools.jar.

This link
( http://henneberke.wordpress.com/2007/08/25/unable-to-compile -class-for-jsp/)
suggests to add tools.jar to the build path of the project.

My application is made up of a number of features and plugins, so there is
a help feature which holds all the dependencies (such as jetty) and a help
plugin which is really just the help pages (it was created using
Instantiations RCP Developer). I tried adding tools.jar to both the
feature and plugin but neither solved the problem.

Would it help to add tools.jar as an argument in <myapp>.ini, and if so,
how can this be done?

Does anyone have any help or suggestions?

By the way, I originally posted this in eclipse.platform.rcp (haven't used
this eclipse.platform.ua group before), but received no replies.

Cheers
Daniel
