the "Help contents" uses your web browser and a build in web server
to display the help documentation, if eclipse is unable to launch
your web browser, or it's internal web server, this might explain the
lack of help. Check the output from console.app to see if eclipse is
complaining about anything that might prevent the help from working.
If updates are not working try change the ownership of the eclipse
application (and all sub folders and files) to the user you are
running it as.

Did you really use two different capitalisation's for the same name
(ie. BuL and Bul), because HFS+ will cause you much pain if you do
this. To eclipse they are not the same thing, everything is case
sensitive, but HFS+ thinks that Bul and BuL are one in the same.

There should be a '>>' icon in the top right you can use to switch
between open perspectives if you end up with an unexpected view.

This is not the way to build the framework for deployment. What you
are looking for is "WOLips Ant Tools->Install" from the project's
context menu in the package explorer.

This is probably the case if you don't build the framework properly.
