I installed Eclipse 2.1.1 under Red Hat 9 and everything is fine except I
can not invoke Help Content from Help Menu. Mozilla starts but shows an
empty page. An error is shown: 'Help can not be displayed. The embedded
application server can not run web application. Check log for details.'
I have tried to check the log but just did not find it!
Any advise is highly appreciated.

Hi Kurt,
Yes, I agree with your comments, particularly with the "dll hell" like
scenario.
You can also drop a different version of xerces in the ext directory and
you'll likely run into problems with eclipse 2.1.
I am not sure what the best solution is, but the reality is that this is one
of the unfortunate exceptions, and for most people things are working well.
If you can think of some fixes, please let us know, we'd be happy to use
your contributions.
