When in the Eclipse platform and click Help->Tips and Tricks->Eclipse Java
Development Tools->OK, I get a blank Help-Eclipse Platform screen. When I
go through a similar process to get to Java Development User Guide, I get a
blank page.

How do I incorporate the Help plugins into my projects?

Thanks,

Dan H.

Eclipse SDK contains help system and documentation plug-ins. If simply
choosing Help -> Help Contents from the menu results in blank page too,
check your Internet Explorer proxy settings as explained in the Eclipse
readme.

Konrad,

I found the following paragraph in the Eclipse readme:

Using Internet Explorer in offline mode (Windows only)
"If you have been using Internet Explorer in Offline mode, when you access
the help system you will get a message indicating that the web page you
requested is not available offline or a blank page will display. Click
Connect or deselect "Work Offline" in the Internet Explorer "File" menu to
return the system behavior to normal. "



When I choose Help->Help Contents I get a blank page and my Internet
Explorer is not in Offline mode.



Thanks,



Dan H.

The section of the readme that may help you is:

Help documents not displayed in a browser or very slow document loading
(Windows only)
If your LAN settings are not properly configured for local host access, your
Help browser might open to a blank page or display an HTTP error instead of
a help page, or you may experience long delays when loading help documents.
Your system administrator can configure your LAN settings so that help
documents can be accessed from the local help server.
1.. In the Control Panel, open Internet Options, select the Connections
tab and choose LAN Settings.
2.. If your host was configured to use DHCP for IP assignment, make sure
that the "Automatically detect settings" check box is cleared.
3.. If you use a proxy server, ensure that the "Bypass proxy server for
local addresses" is selected.
4.. In "Advanced" settings for proxies, add "127.0.0.1;localhost" to the
"Exceptions" if these addresses are not listed.
5.. If you are using an automatic configuration script for proxy
settings, and are not sure that the script is correct, clear the "Use
automatic configuration script" check box.
If the above steps do not fix your problem, try changing the port and host
properties on the Help > Help Server preference page. In general, setting
host to localhost or 127.0.0.1 should work. Also, especially when running a
firewall, you may want to specify port 80 or some other firewall-friendly
value. (bugs 7036, 9418, 11394)



Questions about help should be directed to eclipse.platform news group.
There are many posts regarding the behavior you see.
