Hi,
I can bring up standalone help from within my full Eclipse folder using the
instructions at:
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/~checkout~/platform -help-home/testing/scenarios.html
That is, on Windows, I go to my c:/eclipse folder and enter the command as
specified and my browser starts up and the standalone help comes up--yay!
When I try to set it up just so there is the minimal set of plugins (as per
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/~checkout~/org.ecli pse.platform.doc.isv/reference/misc/help_standalone.html),
and retaining all of the other eclipse directory folders, when I issue
the command from the command line, it looks like it's starting on the
localhost port, but then comes back with an error line in the command line
window that says:
"Documentation not installed."
I do have doc plugins in my plugins folder (my own, not the Eclipse doc
ones).
What circumstances cause that error message to come back? Can you tell me if
there's a flag somewhere or something to specify in one of the other files
(config.ini or something)?
Here are the folders/files I have in my minimal setup; I just copied them
from the full Eclipse folder:
eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.core.runtime
eclipse/cofiguration/org.eclipse.help.base
eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi
eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.update
eclipse/configuration/config.ini
eclipse/features/org.eclipse.platform_3.0.0
eclipse/plugins/(the minimal set for standalone help, plus my own doc
plugin)
eclipse/.eclipseproduct
eclipse/eclipse.exe
eclipse/startup.jar
Thanks!

OK, nevermind. Ignore this for now.
I did a test by moving in one of the Eclipse doc plugins into my minimal set
up and now it works for that, but not for my own doc plugins.
So, at least I know where to look for the problem. :-)

Other than config.ini, the files do not exist immediately after
installation, and are created only in running Eclipse. Do not copy them to
the stand-alone help system tree. There is caching of configuration in some
of the files, and even may store absolute paths to the plug-ins.
When adding more plug-ins manually they might not be automatically detected
on the FAT filesystem. In that case, instead of deleting the configuration
directory, try adding "-clean" or "-vmargs -Dosgi.checkConfiguration=true"
to the command line, and all plug-ins will be redetected.
