Where is Help?

Post by tpannone »

:?: When I select Help Contents on the menu bar, nothing happens. When I click on a question mark (?) button, nothing happens. Search returns 0 hits.

Are there Help files that can be downloaded for NBEclipse that I can install?

I don't know if this points to the problem, but as I was attempting to see what worked, I received the following popup error message.

An internal error occurred during: "Local Help".
java.lang.NullPointerException

My OS is Win7 32-bit and the installed Java is Version 8 Update 191.

Any suggestions?

Hi,

I got this error after I updated my 12 year old Eclipse environment form my SB70 SDK. The old one does not work anymore and the updated version doesn't work either. I think it has to do with the nbeclipse*.jar files. Maybe the new Java environment doesn't support that old stuff anymore and producing a java.lang.NullPointerException error.

I think the next option is to use the good old make file construction.
