Bug#341101: eclipse-platform-common: Eclipse Help not working

[Markus Bauer]

Package: eclipse-platform-common
Version: 3.1.1-5
Severity: normal

Hello,

When starting the Eclipse help from [Help]->[Help Contents] nothing happens (a browser window should pop up) and I get the following exception:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/catalina/realm/MemoryRealm
    at org.eclipse.tomcat.internal.TomcatAppServer.start(TomcatAppServer.java:105)

>From the original Eclipse build I saw that the missing class "MemoryRealm" is located in eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.tomcat_4.1.30.1/catalina.jar, but in the Debian version it is not.
Maybe this is because it uses Tomcat5 instead of Tomcat4 like the original?


Regards,
Markus
