Not able to read eclipse documentation in FC 4 test 1 (amd64)

[Jan-Petter Vainionpaa]

Hello,

I'm quite new with eclipse, so perhapes this is just because I haven't
made right configuration, but I'm not able to use eclipse documentation,
instead I get some errors to logfile.

At the beginning I was not even able to launch eclipse, but thanks to
tips I found from this mailinglist I get eclipse started by pointing
another vm to be used:

> eclipse -vm /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_02/jre/bin/java

But when I try to open some documentation from welcome screen in
overview (like workbench basics) after first click nothing happens, and
after second click I get message saying "An exception occured when
launching help. Refer to log for more details" And in the logfile there
is :

Looks to me that possibly some components/plugins are missing from my
installation?

I made a full installation from FC 4 test 1 amd64 installation CD set,
and I have following eclipse related packages installed:

> [jvainion at fsamd64 ~]$ rpm -qa | grep -i eclipse
> eclipse-platform-devel-3.1.0_fc-0.M5.12
> eclipse-pydev-0.9.0_fc-4
> eclipse-cdt-2.0.2_fc-3
> eclipse-jdt-devel-3.1.0_fc-0.M5.12
> eclipse-platform-3.1.0_fc-0.M5.12
> eclipse-pde-devel-3.1.0_fc-0.M5.12
> eclipse-changelog-2.0.1_fc-16
> eclipse-ecj-3.1.0_fc-0.M5.12
> eclipse-bugzilla-0.1.0_fc-7
> eclipse-jdt-3.1.0_fc-0.M5.12
> eclipse-pde-3.1.0_fc-0.M5.12
> 

Could someone please help what is wrong here?
