Enabling help content

The help system implements web-based help content delivery and by default uses remote help so that you can obtain content from the web dynamically. With remote help, you always have the latest content available from within your 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 access decision any time. If you install multiple products together, you can use different locations for the help for each product, depending on installation footprint, frequency of use, and Internet policies. If internet speed is an issue, a longer one-time download and local access might be preferable. Later help updates include only differences.

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