I have followed the instructions here:
http://help.eclipse.org/help33/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse. platform.doc.isv/reference/misc/help_infocenter.html
to install a minimal Standalone Help browser but I'm getting the following
error when I try to start it from the command line. Any ideas?

This may or may not be related to
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=194483 which was fixed in
3.3.1.

Thanks, however, that turned out to be unrelated. The problem was actually
that I didn't have all of the required jars. The required list is given
here

http://help.eclipse.org/help33/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse. platform.doc.isv/reference/misc/help_infocenter.html

as

org.apache.lucene
org.eclipse.help
org.eclipse.help.appserver
org.eclipse.help.base
org.eclipse.help.ui
org.eclipse.help.webapp
org.eclipse.tomcat
org.eclipse.ui.forms

However, the complete list actually includes more than this since some of
these need other dependencies. The complete list is as follows:

javax.servlet.jsp
javax.servlet
org.apache.commons.el
org.apache.commons.logging
org.apache.jasper
org.apache.lucene.analysis
org.apache.lucene
org.eclipse.equinox.http.jetty
org.eclipse.equinox.http.registry
org.eclipse.equinox.http.servlet
org.eclipse.equinox.jsp.jasper.registry
org.eclipse.equinox.jsp.jasper
org.eclipse.help.appserver
org.eclipse.help.base
org.eclipse.help.ui
org.eclipse.help.webapp
org.eclipse.help
org.eclipse.osgi.services
org.eclipse.tomcat
org.eclipse.ui.forms
org.mortbay.jetty

This was enough to get the browser running but if I tried to add
documentation plugins they wouldn't show up. I added
org.eclipse.core.runtime and got my docs to work. I realize this last
requirement may not be required by all doc plugins but it was required for
all of our eclipse doc plugins.

I would like to suggest that the main Eclipse doc page mentioned above be
updated to reflect this more complete list. Is this the right list to
report this to?
