Build Identifier: M20090917-0800 Clicking the question mark icon to open related help opens a "Topic not found" page at this location: http://127.0.0.1:1747/help/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.isv%2Fguide%2FresInt_workspace.htm. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. From the Help menu, choose Cheat Sheets. 2. Expand Team/CVS and select "Check out a CVS project". 3. Find the last step called "View the workspace" and click the question mark icon next to it.
That link is working for me using I20101005-0800 ( the latest integration build) and also with M20090917-0800 ( Eclipse 3.5.1 ) Are you using Eclipse with a language pack or are you using the English language version? Do you see the same problem on any of the other help links in this cheat sheet? The platform field in this bug report is Windows XP - is that what you were using?
In checked with a software developer and we're using the English language version. We don't have the same problem with any of the other links on the cheat sheet, and yes, we're using the Windows XP platform. The SW developer noted that the target of the link is http://127.0.0.1:2438/help/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/guide/resInt_workspace.htm The org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv plugin contributes the "Platform Plug-in Developer Guide". This is definitely not part of the basic Eclipse platform that we use to ship the IDE (our product). Is it possible that you are testing on an Eclipse platform with a more complete set of plugins? You probably are. I guess I was just surprised that we could install this cheat sheet and get all the other related help, but not this one. Perhaps the other related help topics are in different plugins?
I agree with your analysis. If org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv is not loaded the link will not work. I'm not sure what version of Eclipse your product is based on, the Eclipse SDK contains org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv, as does the Eclipse Platform SDK ( which contains less plug-ins ). In any case the solution would be to package org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv with your product, if you feel that this is sufficiently important to you.
Assigning to the team component since this issue is specific to the cheat sheet. I'm not sure that I have a good suggestion for how to fix it, there seem to be two options: 1. Do nothing, meaning that users of the Eclipse Platform( i.e. not the SDK ) will have a broken help link in their cheat sheet. 2. Remove the link to http://127.0.0.1:2438/help/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/guide/resInt_workspace.htm, which will remove the broken link but also make that help page unavailable for user of the SDK.
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. If the bug is still relevant, please remove the "stalebug" whiteboard tag.
