Description of problem: Attempting to view docs via Overview returns a (jetty) error page using both internal and external viewers. I've google an others have had similar problems but no solutions have been presented. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): eclipse-cdt-4.0.1-1.fc8.i386 eclipse-changelog-2.5.1-2.fc8.i386 eclipse-cvs-client-3.3.0-30.fc8.i386 eclipse-ecj-3.3.0-30.fc8.i386 eclipse-jdt-3.3.0-30.fc8.i386 eclipse-mylyn-2.0.0-9.fc8.i386 eclipse-mylyn-bugzilla-2.0.0-9.fc8.i386 eclipse-mylyn-ide-2.0.0-9.fc8.i386 eclipse-mylyn-java-2.0.0-9.fc8.i386 eclipse-pde-3.3.0-30.fc8.i386 eclipse-pde-runtime-3.3.0-30.fc8.i386 eclipse-platform-3.3.0-30.fc8.i386 eclipse-pydev-1.3.9-1.fc8.i386 eclipse-rcp-3.3.0-30.fc8.i386 eclipse-rpm-editor-0.1.0-10.fc8.i386 eclipse-subclipse-1.2.4-5.fc8.i386 icu4j-eclipse-3.6.1-1jpp.3.fc8.i386 tomcat5-jasper-eclipse-5.5.25-1jpp.1.fc8.i386 jetty-5.1.12-1jpp.8.fc8.i386 (minor bugfix from updates-testing) How reproducible: Try to use the documentation from the welcome page :-( Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start eclipse for the first time as a new user 2. When the welcome page is presented, select 'Workbench Basics' Actual results: I get a pop up window with the following error: HTTP ERROR: 500 Internal Server Error RequestURI=/help/index.jsp Powered by Jetty:// Expected results: The Workbench Basics page that is presented on the eclipse website. Additional info: I've never used eclipse before an I thought I'd give it a spin with F8. Despite the above problem, I have been sufficiently motivated to learn how to use it via the website, and I think it could prove to be a very useful for my development team (great stuff guys!). Okay more info: I initially did an upgrade to F8 and experienced this problem. Upgrades are not supported so I did some mucking around with LVM and got a dual boot going with a fresh F8 install. Still no dice. Tried creating a new user and running eclipse (I think I may have had a ~/.eclipse dir lying around from F7). Still no dice. No correlation with anything in _all_ log file. I _am_ running SELinux but have had no indications from logs or SE Troubleshooter that this a problem. Don't really know where to go from here, but am prepared to do more digging with further advice. Cheers! Kal

This is the same as the other "Help is broken on the developer live image" bug. I've fixed it (the tomcat patches needed updating) and it will come up with the forthcoming 3.3.1.1 update (as soon as I get ppc64 straightened out).
