As a security issue, everything on my computer needs permission to access
the outside world. Certain applications are granted it automatically, others
require human intervention. Since anything can launch a java app, neither
java.exe nor javaw.exe are granted these rights. However, there are
duplicate programs, e.g. trustedjava.exe which are granted these rights
since only I know of their existence. Eclipse itself is launched with this
app. Unfortunately, when eclipse launches the help system, it uses the
standard java app. Thus I need to approve every URL individually. Can
Eclipse be configured to launch the help system using a designated version
of java?

You mean, I can't trust the members of this newsgroup.

Thanks for the hint. I didn't know about this hidden field. It will help me
when I use the IDE to test some of my programs. Unfortunately, this isn't
what I was looking for here. I wanted to know how to launch the help system.
This is not launched from the run menu. Or did I misunderstand you.
