When I select Help -> Help Contents, I get an HTTP 404 Not Found error.
This is
with a brand new installation of Eclipse 3.0.1. Happens even with my
firewall turned off and McAfee's On Access Scan turned off.

Any Pointers??? I have been all over the web with no success.

Pete,

Try this.

Open up Eclipse. Go to Window->Preferences->Help->Helpserver.

In the Hostname or IP address field enter: 127.0.0.1

This should fix your problem. It worked for me once, although I forget
the exact nature of the problem though.

Peter,

Did you find a solution to this problem? I have the same symptom.

I've had this problem a time ago. Help in Eclipse runs as web applicatio=

with tomcat (a lot of html files well organized). Unfortuned if U have a=

plugin with another version of commons-logging.jar tomcat refuse to star=
t =

and generate error (blame jakarta loggin... :-( ). This was the case I =

faced with, because of Hibernate Tools beta 4 plugin that has a differen=
t =

version of common loggin jar file. So if U've installed a plugin with =

common loggin jar archive, uninstall it... For me works disable and enab=
le =

again the plugin with problematic jar. I hope this help. Best.

I was having this problem at work, but not at home. Turns out the web
proxy at work was missing an entry in its configuration script (the
wpad.dat file) to tell the browser to make a direct connection to
"127.0.0.1". If you're using a web proxy, try going into IE's
Tools->Internet Options->Connections->LAN Settings and turning all the
proxy stuff off. Then see if Eclipse Help works.
