I downloaded eclipse-platform 3.2 and read up on how to start the
Infocenter on 3.2:

To start an infocenter on port 8081, issue a start command by running

java -classpath d:\myApp\eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.help.base_3.1.0.jar
org.eclipse.help.standalone.Infocenter -command start -eclipsehome
d:\myApp\eclipse -port 8081

Besides there not being an org.eclipse.help.base_3.1.0.jar in my
installation directory, I was able to find something close enough:
org.eclipse.help_3.2.0.v20060602.jar

Is this the right one? When I attempt to start the Infocenter with this
command, I get the following error: The java class is not found:
org/eclipse/help/standalone/Infocenter

/usr/lib/IBMJava2-1.4.2/jre/bin/java -classpath
/home/local/data/httpd/help.eclipse.org/help32/eclipse/plugi ns/org.eclipse.help_3.2.0.v20060602.jar
org.eclipse.help.standalone.Infocenter -noexec -clean -command start
-eclipsehome /home/local/data/httpd/help.eclipse.org/help32/eclipse
-port 8084 -nl en -locales en &

I also tried the following command (saw it in the Standalone Help docs)
with similar results.
/usr/lib/IBMJava2-1.4.2/jre/bin/java -classpath
/home/local/data/httpd/help.eclipse.org/help32/eclipse/plugi ns/org.eclipse.help_3.2.0.v20060602.jar
org.eclipse.help.standalone.Help -noexec -clean -command start
-eclipsehome /home/local/data/httpd/help.eclipse.org/help32/eclipse
-port 8084 -nl en -locales en &

Any ideas?

My mistake.. I updated this for standalone help docs but missed
infocenter. You're right it should be 3.2, not 3.1. However when you
replaced it you actually switched plugin... the original listed is
org.eclipse.help.base_3.1.0.jar (note the base part), but you replaced it
with org.eclipse.help_3.2.0.v20060602.jar (no base). You'll need to use
the org.eclipse.help.base plugin jar, v3.2 with whatever build number
you're using. The class it's not finding is in that jar.

Thanks,
Curt

That worked, thanks.

Do you want me to open a bug for the Doc error?

Please do, I'll correct it for 3.2.1 if doc changes are allowed. If not,
then it'll go in 3.3.

Thanks,
Curt
