Description
Eclipse SDK
Version: 2025-03 (4.35)
Build id: I20250116-0550
Somehow on my kubuntu system libwebkit had gone missing. At this point invoking **Help > Help Contents** just did nothing. Even in the Error log there was no sign of a problem.
I only got aware of the underlying issue when **Ctrl+3 Internal Web Browser** mentioned webkit.
Help functionality was then brought back by `sudo apt install libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0`.
