Hi,

We have an RCP application and have just added help with the eclipse help viewer. The help viewer
launches ok and displays the table of contents.

When we run the application from within eclipse, the help viewer works as expected, and clicking on
a topic displays the topic in the help viewer.

However when we make a build of the RCP application and launch the help - whenever we click on a
topic in the Table of Contents it launches an external browser window to display the topic.

The org.eclipse.help.base/always_external_browser property in the plugin_customization.ini file is
set to false (default).

How can we rectify this behaviour?

Platform is eclipse 3.4

Many thanks,
Conor O'Mahony

Hi,

I have found the solution here, it wasn't an eclipse problem -
Some of the content files are generated from Madcap Flare and 'converted' so that we can used them
in eclipse, and it was one of these generated javascript files that caused the issue.

Best regards,
Conor
