Online Help

Online Help is available throughout the Eclipse interface. Additional Help topics are contributed by any plug-ins that are installed along with the Eclipse workbench.

Pressing F1 or clicking the Help button ( Help icon ) displays a Help panel to the right of the console. This contains context-sensitive information and links appropriate to the current view or editor. It also includes several options to help you find a particular topic:

Related Topics
Shows description and help topics related to the current workbench context.
Bookmarks
List favorite topics that you have previously bookmarked.
Index

To display the full help system in a separate window, select Help Contents from the Help menu.

To display keyboard shortcuts, press Ctrl-Shift-L or select Key Assist from the Help menu.
