Help in Eclipse under XP Still Not Working [message #29913] Sat, 05 March 2005 16:46 Go to next message

Folks,

I'm still trying to get the help engine going under XP and am having no
luck. Ron suggested trying to start it up independently and I'm a
little confused translating Linux to XP. As I understand it, there are
a few possible command lines to get this going:

java -classpath (eclipse_home)/plugins/org.eclipse.help.base_3.0.1\
-command start -eclipsehome (eclipse_home) -port 8081

Which I'm translating to XP as:
java -classpath "C:\Program Files\Eclipse\org.eclipse.help.base_3.0.1"
-command start -eclipsehome "C:\Program Files\Eclipse" -port 8081

This gives me the message that the -command option is invalid in the JVM
(1.4.1)

Trying:
java -classpath "C:\Program
Files\Eclipse\org.eclipse.help.base_3.0.1\helpbase.jar" -command start
-eclipsehome "C:\Program Files\Eclipse" -port 8081

gives me the same result.

Ron also had another reference to "infocenter", so I tried the following:

java -classpath "C:\Program
Files\Eclipse\org.eclipse.help.base_3.0.1\helpbase.jar"
org.eclipse.help.standalone.Infocenter -command start -eclipsehome
"C:\Program Files\Eclipse" -port 8081

which now tells me it can't find the class
org/eclipse/help/standalone/Infocenter.

Could someone *please* tell me what's going on? This is a brand-new
machine, so there should be little on it to screw things up. I've done
some logging before, so if anyone could help out a newbie to try and
start a log to see what's going on, I'd be obliged. But I'm stuck at
square one without being able to see any help.

Sorry for the frustration.

Hello Jim,

Are you usijng a firewall such as ZoneAlarm? I had problems in the past with
ZoneAlarm and Eclipse help. Just an idea.
