Description
When I put the cursor on the Class(Interface) name HttpServletRequest and press F1, unexpected and different behavior is experienced depending upon preferences in the Help system.
Steps to Reproduce:
With the Help System Preference "Start help system in seperate VM" UNselected (if not uncheck already, uncheck, close and restart JB2005.
Now put your cursor on the Class(interface) name HttpServletRequest and press F1.  A small panel/box will appear saying something about JBuilder help looking..."
The JB2005 status bar will display the following message "CodeInsight could not find a class or class memeber at caret position.  Please check for syntax errors in your code."  And the Help window will open displaying the JavaDoc for HttpServletRequest.


Now change the Help System Preference "Start help system in seperate VM" to SELECTED.  You wil be advised to close and restart JB2005; please do so.
Now put your cursor on the Class(interface) name HttpServletRequest and press F1.  A small panel/box will appear saying something about JBuilder help looking..."
The JB2005 status bar will display the following message "CodeInsight could not find a class or class memeber at caret position.  Please check for syntax errors in your code."
However, this time  the Help window will not open at all
