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

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.
