I've never used eclipse before, so I thought I'd give it a try. When it opens to the Welcome page, none of the links on the Welcome page work. All I get is "AN exception occurred while launching help. Refer to the log for more details". First of all, I can't find the log. It isn't in /usr/share/eclipse, or /var/log.
Usually such applications store user related files in the user's home directory. See if there is such a file (perhaps '.eclipserc') or such a directory (perhaps '.eclipse/') in your ~/ directory. Already tried starting eclipse from a terminal window, like e.g. xterm or konsole? There might be some output on stdout. Anything in /var/log/messages or /var/log/warn? (I guess not, but it doesn't hurt to look there anyway)
Any ideas where they stow their log?
Does eclipse come with documentation? That would be a good starting point... ;) Cheers, Leen
