On my platform (Win2000/Eclipse3/Mozilla as default browser), IE displays Eclipse help docs with no problem. Quote: 2. Why is Eclipse using IE rather than my default browser? If you want your default browser to display help docs, make sure you have ticked "Always use external browsers" in menu Window/Preferences/Help. Otherwise, Eclipse will use the system's HTML component, which will be IE on Windows. HTH, Z.

Most browsers, given "host:port" as a URL, will append "http://" to it automatically. But in my experience IE doesn't (perhaps depending on settings and versions). Most likely "http://127.0.0.1:64019" would work. -- Thanks, M.Biswas Back to top Dave Neary Guest Posted: Thu Jul 22, 2004 3:46 pm    Post subject: Re: taking Eclipse for a Spin Hi, In article <kkquf05fvllstmak5d8av5rq8ld0bs7ddg (AT) 4ax (DOT) com>, Roedy Green wrote: Quote: 1.

I'm not familiar with XP/Pro, but doesn't XP/Pro have its own builtin firewall? (and, as you were speaking of a "brand new system", isn't it enabled by default?) Executing java/javaw from commandline might be OK, but have you tried a java program that actually creates an internet connection (i.e. creates a socket connection)? The firewall allows java to run *until* java tries to create a socket connection: if it is configured to block it, the creation of the socket will fail and, in case of Eclipse, the help server will not start (properly). You might find traces of this in the Eclipse log (Window->Show view->Error log). [For Tomcat and Sun App server have a look in the "logs" directories]. HTH, Z. Back to top Gil Hansen Guest Posted: Fri Aug 06, 2004 5:15 pm    Post subject: Re: taking Eclipse for a Spin Z, WinPro XP does not come with its firewall active. The firewall was not the cause of my problems. Checking the Eclipse .log file, Tomcat, which serves up the help pages, was not starting up. I'm not sure which version of Tomcat comes bundled with Eclipse, but when I switched my SDK from 1.4.2_05 to 1.4.2_03, Tomcat started up and the help pages displayed correctly. FYI, Tomcat 5.0.27 will not start up under SDK 1.4.2_05, but will under 1.4.2_03.
