It looks like you are using the eclipse 3.1M7 milestone. There are problems with the help system in the current patchset, which I haven't had any time to track down yet. 3.1RC1 is out now, so I'm looking into updating the eclipse-devel port to match this. If I have some time, I'll try to get help working, but I'm not optimistic. Last time I looked at the help, non-Windows support was pretty flaky. They appeared to be making some calls that assumed a specific Mozilla API, which no longer worked well with newer versions of Mozilla. I'm not sure if the current state of affairs has changed, or if I even fully understood why things were failing. Alex.
