Comment 25 for bug 549904

FYI to any interested: I've abandoned my effort to locate the cause of this. It persists on my machine, but appears issolated to the Help-->Help Contents action. I have a working Help tab in the workspace that has a complete Help Contents. Having a functional help system is important to new users of Eclipse, which I am. Being new, its disconcerting to go to the Help menu and have the Help Contents blow up with a java error stack. I hope someone takes this initiative to fix it, and post the fix here. Regards.
