Hi,
searching from my local machine with locally hostet infocenter on tomcat works.

The problem is, when I try to search from an rcp app on another computer I get the following error:

Während "Lokale Hilfe" ist ein interner Fehler aufgetreten.
java.lang.NullPointerException
 at org.eclipse.help.internal.util.URLCoder.encode(URLCoder.java:20)

 at org.eclipse.core.internal.jobs.Worker.run(Worker.java:55)

Everything else works fine, even the dynamic search function...

Hope someone can help.. Thanks in advance!

Are you seeing the error on the client side or on the server side? This problem is not familiar to me.

Can you file a bug report and include the stack trace. It seems that it would be easy to fix - we need to handle the case where highlightTerms is null, I don't understand though why this has not been reported before if there is a path through the code which allows highlightTerms to be null.
