Eclipse local help system

Update: This appears to be on a different port for others. As Jax pointed out you can go: Eclipse, select Help -> Help contents to get there as well :o)

I was just going into some help files of Aptana when I came across the local address for the Eclipse Help system at: http://127.0.0.1:58041/help/index.jsp

In there was a wealth of information I just didn't know was on my hard drive ... though I suppose it depends on what plug-in's you've got installed but for me I had:

references and getting started tips for Subclipse, plus ColdFusion Documentation, Using CF extensions for Flex builder (including details of RDS support), Java development user guide, plug-in guide and loads more. The Aptana section is indepth as well with documentation covering:

  • Ajax Libraries (including Spry 1.5
  • CSS (elements and properties)
  • HTML
  • Javascript (keywords, DOM, core)
  • and even javascript reference for Adobe AIR(though that seems to actually hit Adobe.com livedoc (which is slicker than the CF ones!))
