Invoking Help gives no feedback when libwebkit2gtk is missing
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.
