.. or so I think. I followed the instructions at to create a local copy of the IC:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/ledoc/v6r11/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.help.ic.doc/xpd_usingthisdocumentationoffline.html
Unzipping the IC zip file into the plugins dir of the IBM Eclipse Help facility wants to overwrite the' com.ibm.help.ic.doc' plugin. If I don't overwrite this, then when I start the Help System there is nothing there for Xpd (or anything). If I overwrite the plugin, then eclipse has an error starting up.
Extract from the error log.
