Description of problem:
When I start eclipse from shell with command

eclipse -vm /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_02/jre/bin/java

but when I try to open some documentation from welcome screen in
overview (like workbench basics) after first click nothing happens, and
after second click I get message saying "An exception occured when
launching help. Refer to log for more details"

This feature is reported to work ok in i386 environment.

eclipse -vm /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_02/jre/bin/java

2. On welcome tab, select overview
3. Select forexample link "workbench basics"
4. wait for a while, nothing happens (except logs are produced)
5. reclik the same link
