I am starting eclipse in Solaris using:

eclipse -data . -vm $JAVA_HOME/bin/java

Then I go to Overview and click on Workbench basics.

The Help Error pops up. The message says:

An exception occurred while launching help. Refer to the log for more
details.

The follwing are the first few lines of the .metadata/.log file:

Is there an environment variable that I need to set for selecting the
browser?

Thanks,

It seems that Eclipse can't find your browser. You need to point the IDE
to it.

In Eclipse, go to Window > Preferences > Help, and click on the Web
Browser link in the dialog.
