Description Heikki Pernu 2005-02-21 01:40:20 UTC

When trying to use help menu items(such as contents) nothing happens.
After a review the logs, it appears eclipse is not starting mozilla correctly.
Logs:
heikki@judah heikki $ cat $HOME/eclipse-workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.help.base/browser.log

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start eclipse-sdk
2. Try 'help contents'
3. Review the log




Checking on another installation of eclipse it also seems that 
in the Window->Preferences->Help the list of external web browser adapters 
is empty. Is this right? 
 
On 3.0.0 I was able to configure eclipse to use konqueror by a simple 
modification of the configuration. Now it does not seem to be possible to 
change the browser at all. 
 
This bug may also apply to other architectures.

Is this fixed with mozilla-1.7.6-r1 mozilla-launcher-1.28?

Comment 2 Mikko Tiihonen 2005-03-29 22:09:57 UTC

I got the help/mozilla integration to work with eclipse 3.0.2 (I attached my ebuild to #86850). I'm running amd64, mozilla-1.7.6-r1 and mozilla-launcher-1.32.

I do not have konqueror installed so I cannot test if eclipse finds it or not.

Please see if you can reproduce this problem on amd64 with the 3.1 final ebuild,
then reopen this bug.
