Bug#343667: eclipse: Help->Help Contents launches external browser

[Andreas Pakulat]

Package: eclipse
Version: 3.1.1-6
Severity: normal

Hi,

if I'm not mistaken the help system should work such that opening the
help opens a view with an embedded gecko-browser. However choosing
Help->Help Contents launches a full firefox here. Opening the Help View
manually works however.

If the behaviour is indeed correct and I'm just stupid to think that
Help->Help Contents launches the Help-View instead of an external
browser, please immediately close this bug report.

Hmm, looking through the preferences I do see that I cannot choose to
use the "internal web browser", maybe that's related?
