this snipped article talks about a help server that is different from
localhost or abyss web server maybe.
"The Platform utilizes its own help server to provide the actual web pages
from within the document web. A help server allows the Platform to handle
the wide variety of web browsers in a browser independent way while also
providing plug-in aware support. The Platform's help server allows the
documentation to also be packaged in zip files thus avoiding problems that
may result when a large number of files are present. In our example, we put
the HTML files in subdirectories of the plug-in directory. Alternatively, we
could have placed them in a .zip file, called doc.zip, in the plug-in
directory, maintaining the directory structure underneath. In general, the
recommended way is to actually zip all the documentation."
is that why i localhost and abyss webserver and my internet surfing is not
affected.
maybe there is a problem of some setting with the help server.
this is crazy.
help!
thanks,
jim

the service name and select Stop from the pop-up menu.
This service (ISC Help Server) isnt listed on my computer in the service
manager.
EclipseSrv.exe is not showing up in the process window.
eclipse.exe is showing up.
i tried going into window preference help help server and changing the
values
to 127.0.0.1 and 80 (they were blank before)
i shut down my web server when i made those changes and tried once it was
shut down.
something just isnt right with the help server failing to launch.
i tried a netstat command and saw no port interference.
any ideas? do i have the right service name for the help server?
thanks,
jim

Hi,
the problem is not on the help server.
I had the same problem every now and then, but now I know why this happens.
One useful view is the "Error Log", open it and see the error.
I bet that there is an exception like this:
"org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JLogger does not implement Log"
This error appears because some of your plugins includes the
commons-logging.jar in its library jars and it shouldn't.
There's a number of plugins that include it and it's a different version
of the one in your eclipse distribution. For some reason that I don't
know, the classloader is confused. And for some even more weird reason
this comes up when you access the help system.
One plugin that I know of and does that is SQLExplorer.
The solution is to find the problematic plugin and remove the
commons-logging.jar from its files.
Just go through the plugin folder and look only for external plugins.
Close Eclipse browse their directories remove the file.
I hope this will help you.

Hi pana-
i found the offending programs. a person at sourceforge had me install 2
jars in the ext
directory of the jre kind of recently. once i removed those 2, help works
fine.
your tip on using the error log file in eclipse is what enabled me to solve
this.
i saw the offending file name in the error log and knew exactly at that
moment
what was causing this.
thanks for the very kind help,
jim
