I have been working for some time trying to set up a standalone Infocenter using Kepler.

For testing, I'm running Infocenter using the java command provided at

http://help.eclipse.org/indigo/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/guide/ua_help_setup_infocenter.htm

The Infocenter starts, and I can go to help/index.jsp with a browser, but no books are listed in the contents. I do have a help plugin in the plugins directory.

When I try the same Java command from the full eclipse install directory, it works fine.

I've run the command with -debug to try to get some idea of what is going on. Here is a portion of the debug information generated for the working version (from the eclipse directory)

It seems that I am probably missing a jar file, but I'm stumped as to what it can be. When I go into the osgi console, all the bundles
are marked as resolved or started. There are no unresolved bundles.

This is the list of jar files I currently have in my plugin directory.

I figured out how to get my infoCenter to run the way I wanted. I finally just made a copy of my Eclipse directory, and started pulling things out until I ended up with a (hopefully) minimum set of plugins that seems to work.

My final list of plugins is:

ch.qos.logback.classic_1.0.7.v20121108-1250.jar

org.slf4j.api_1.7.2.v20121108-1250.jar

I also modified the config.ini in the configuration directory. It now looks like this:

#This configuration file was written by: org.eclipse.equinox.internal.frameworkadmin.equinox.EquinoxFwConfigFileParser

eclipse.product=org.eclipse.platform.ide
osgi.bundles.defaultStartLevel=4
eclipse.application=org.eclipse.help.base.infocenterApplication

And I also reduced the content of bundles.info in the configuration/org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator directory.
It now looks like this:

In order to start the infoCenter from a Java class, I also had to copy org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.0.v20130327-1440.jar
to the root of my webapp and rename it startup.jar.

Note that the list of plugins above contains no documentation (help) plugins. If you run with just this list, the infoCenter will have a blank table of contents. Be sure to add some help plugins to the plugins directory.
