Description Alexander Urieles CLA 2010-09-29 05:01:22 EDT 
Build Identifier: M20100909-0800

The minimal stand-alone help achievable through the steps on http://help.eclipse.org/helios/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/guide/ua_help_setup_standalone.htm does not show a UI Help Browser when executing it from console. The same issue occurs when reproducing the steps using a version 3.5.2 (Build Id: M20100211-1343).

But reproducing the same (or kinda same) process to create a minimal stand-alone help with a version 3.4.0 (Build Id: I20080617-2000), it does show a UI Help Browser when it is run.

I wonder what changes since version 3.4.0, that changes this behavior.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download build: M20100909-0800
2. Create a minimal stand-alone help system as shown on http://help.eclipse.org/helios/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/guide/ua_help_setup_standalone.htm
3. Run minimal stand-alone help system.

This could be a duplicate of Bug 332694. Do you still see the problem?

I think it may be more related to Bug 321457.

Yes, you are correct, it is closer to  Bug 321457.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
