Enabling help content

The help system implements web-based help content delivery and, by default, uses remote help to obtain content from the web dynamically. With remote help, you always have the latest content available from within the product.

About this task

This product implements web-based help content so you can obtain help three ways. One of these options is best for you, depending on your needs and situation:

With web-based help, you can change your method of access at any time. If you install multiple products together, you can use different locations for the help for each product, depending on installation, frequency of use, and Internet policies. If Internet speed is an issue, local access might be preferable. Updates to the help content include only differences between the installed help and the updates.

For more information, see the Eclipse help topic on Remote help. For more information about product-specific help, see the Help contents topic under Reference. If you are a system administrator and want users to access help content from an intranet server, see the instructions on how to install the help WAR file on an intranet server.
