Description Andrew Johnson CLA 2021-02-23 13:17:37 EST 
When this help is viewed locally:

https://help.eclipse.org/2020-12/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/guide/ua_help_content_active.htm?cp=2_0_19_1_1_7

> Active help is the ability to invoke Eclipse code from on-line documentation.


the example:

> Below is an active help link that opens the cheatsheet "Check out a CVS project".  
> We will take a look at how to create and reference your own actions.
>
> Open a cheatsheet.

is not a good one as the CVS cheatsheet is not always installed.

Is there a better example, for example 
Java Development / Create a Hello World Application
or
Plug-in Development / Creating an Eclipse Plug-in

This is the file which needs to be fixed:
https://git.eclipse.org/r/plugins/gitiles/platform/eclipse.platform.common/+/refs/heads/master/bundles/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/guide/ua_help_content_active.htm

perhaps link to
org.eclipse.jdt.helloworld
org.eclipse.pde.helloworld
