Build Identifier: M20100909-0800 We have external help on the local filesystem that we're displaying through the API org.eclipse.ui.help.IWorkbenchHelpSystem.displayHelpResource(). We pass in a file: URL, such as "file:///C:/test.html". This worked for us in Eclipse 3.4 - our help contents were displayed in the internal browser. In 3.6 this no longer works. The internal browser opens but just displays the default general info page. If I append "?noframes=true" to the end of the URL, and pass it into displayHelpResource(), then an external browser does open and display our help contents. However, we'd prefer to continue to use the internal browser. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a local filesystem URL through the API call: PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getHelpSystem().displayHelpResource("file:///C:/test.html");
This is a side effect of the fix for Bug 319344. I think that it should be possible to fix this bug without causing Bug 319344 to regress.
