How to fix this: It seems that the packaged Eclipse is missing the jar file org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv_3.8.1.v20120730-193458.jar
(or similar) originally from http://archive.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.8.1-201209141540/linPlatform.php#EclipseSDK Go to /usr/share/eclipse/plugins mkdir org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv cd org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv Unpack the jar in this folder jar tvf org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv_3.8.1.v20120730-193458.jar Delete the Eclipse error log. (Restart?) Open Help->Search Type in "ui.examples.propertysheet" Browse documentation from local computer.
