I've encountered this problem and will be working to fix it. I did not install eclipse from any of the Ubuntu repositories, choosing to take advise elsewhere to install it directly from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-java-ee-developers/galileosr2. This is because of the rich plug-in set for the Java EE IDE version of eclipse. I'm running 10.04 lucid lynx.
FYI, I have the openjdk-6-jdk installed, so there must be something else misssing. The error generated:
error accessing Help Contents
HTTP ERROR 500
Problem accessing /help/index.jsp. Reason:
Unable to compile class for JSP
... must indicate that the help contents are being freshly generated via an HTTP call for a JSP compilation. So that must mean the correct classpath for compilation within the eclipse framework is missing.
