Missing some API references in Eclipse Help [message #17591]

I downloaded eclipse source build and successfully built Eclipse 2.1 on
Windows XP.
But I am missing some API references (like JDT, PDE) in Eclipse Help window.
It states that these documents have not been installed.
I have also Eclipse 2.0 version (this was binary download) and there are no
missing APIs in 2.0.

How can I fix this? (unless this is how it is supposed to happen)

Is it possible you downloaded the "Platform Runtime Binary" version instead
of the "Eclipse SDK" version? The former does not include the JDT and PDE.
The Eclipse SDK is much larger (about 65MB last time I checked for the
Windows version) but it does include those.

You downloaded one of the "eclipse-sourceBuild" zips, right?

I don't know why the help sections aren't there, since I never do that, but
I'm sure others do.

I suggest you repost your question under the subject "Help sections missing
in eclipse-sourceBuild" so people won't try to answer you assuming you
downloaded one of the "eclipse-SDK", etc. builds

Easy explanation: They aren't build normally.

You need to add something to your build.xml. For debian packages
there is a patch. I've put it on my homepage:

www.katzien.de/debian/00-build.xml.patch

Here is the build script, which the latest debian packages use. If
you are on windows, this should be easy to addapt:

#!/bin/bash
# The path where source is unziped.
cd source-tree;
# first compile...
ant -buildfile build.xml run -Dos=linux -Dws=gtk ;
# and now we gather the plugins into zips
ant -buildfile build.xml gatherFeatureBinaries -Dos=linux -Dws=gtk ;
ant -buildfile build.xml gatherFeatureSources -Dos=linux -Dws=gtk ;

After that you can take the zips in source-tree/feature/*/*zip and
unzip them somewhere. After puting the starter files there as well,
you should have an 'almost the same as the zips' drop. I think the
releases also contain a Readme folder.

Thanx for the tips.
I am looking now at the build.xml files and it seems javadoc is having some
trouble.
There is a log file for javadoc and it states that there was an error. I
will look into it, and maybe try to port your patch.

It seams that the problem is related to javadoc tool.
I succesfully built Eclipse on Mandrake linux 9.1 with Sun JDK 1.4.1.
I have Sun JDK 1.4.0 on Windows so I will try to build Eclipse with Java
1.4.1. Maybe that will help.
