I'm not sure. I have the same configuration you do except I'm on a 32
bit platform instead of 64 bit like you.
I'm using the jdk1.5.0_02 VM from Sun and I can review all the
documentation and so on. You should try:
eclipse -clean -vm /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_02/jre/bin/java to see if that
makes a difference. Many times the -clean flag fixes these kinds of
problems for me, although I haven't experienced the exact problem you
have with the docs.

Hello,
I'm quite new with eclipse, so perhapes this is just because I haven't
made right configuration, but I'm not able to use eclipse documentation,
instead I get some errors to logfile.
At the beginning I was not even able to launch eclipse, but thanks to
tips I found from this mailinglist I get eclipse started by pointing
another vm to be used:
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" And in the logfile there
is :
[jvainion@fsamd64 ~]$ cat workspace/.metadata/.log

Looks to me that possibly some components/plugins are missing from my
installation?
I made a full installation from FC 4 test 1 amd64 installation CD set,
and I have following eclipse related packages installed:
[jvainion@fsamd64 ~]$ rpm -qa | grep -i eclipse
eclipse-platform-devel-3.1.0_fc-0.M5.12
eclipse-pydev-0.9.0_fc-4
eclipse-cdt-2.0.2_fc-3
eclipse-jdt-devel-3.1.0_fc-0.M5.12
eclipse-platform-3.1.0_fc-0.M5.12
eclipse-pde-devel-3.1.0_fc-0.M5.12
eclipse-changelog-2.0.1_fc-16
eclipse-ecj-3.1.0_fc-0.M5.12
eclipse-bugzilla-0.1.0_fc-7
eclipse-jdt-3.1.0_fc-0.M5.12
eclipse-pde-3.1.0_fc-0.M5.12
Could someone please help what is wrong here?
