Build Identifier: eclipse-SDK-3.6RC4-win32

When the Search Index is building, it constructs a series of help:// URLs for retrieving the index documents.  With the introduction of remote help priority in Eclipse 3.6, help:// URLs first go to the remote information center to check for the content which causes the Search Index to make remote calls when building, unlike in releases previous to Eclipse 3.6 which would search locally first, and therefore never run into this problem.

When the input stream for a help:// URL is read, Eclipse needs to know if this is an index call, and if so, search locally rather than honoring the remote priority preference.

HelpURLConnection.getInputStream() is likely where the changes need to be made.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Navigate to Window -> Preferences -> Help -> Content and point to a remote infocenter.
2. Select the radio button "Include remote help and give it priority"
3. Open the help system via Help -> Contents, and do a search.  The index will build, but will make remote calls for the remaining index documents (that weren't preindexed)
