I couldn't try this on my laptop at home because I'd already done the
update/downgrade of lucene and I didn't want to rollback. But I just
tried on my work machine this morning, and as far as I can tell help
is working fine with:
- eclipse-platform-3.2.1-23.fc6
- lucene-1.9.1-1jpp

Of course this was by no means an exhaustive test, but everything
seemed to work fine; when I went to "Search" it built an index and
then searches seemed to be successful. But like I said, I haven't used
this for years so there could be something wrong that I'm not
noticing.
