Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200803251204) Java: 1.6.0_05; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 10.0-b19 System: Linux version 2.6.20-16-generic running on i386; UTF-8; en_US (nb) ----------------------------------------------------------------- -- do Help->Help Contents -- double-click on IDE Basics->Getting Started ==> Can't open Getting Started help article.
Bug appears if I installed NetBeans with C/C++ pack only. If I installed NetBeans with C/C++ pack + Java SE pack, then help works correctly.

Folder nodes (the books) in the help TOC set have no help info attached. Only individual topics (page nodes)
agree, but Getting Started looks like page node in Help Contents (see screen shot) either do that Getting Started looks like book node or add a help article for Getting Started
Created attachment 59216 [details] Getting Started looks like page node rather than book node
now (build 200803302302) Getting Started node looks like 'book node' and have subnode 'C and C++ Application' => all seems correctly. I will close this issue as works for me
