When I open help in Windows the error log contains `Cannot run program "/usr/bin/man": CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified`

Like this:

There is no stack trace.

I expect it's coming from here:

org.eclipse.linuxtools/man/org.eclipse.linuxtools.man.core/src/org/eclipse/linuxtools/internal/man/parser/ManParser.java

Line 81 in 695b19a

Platform.getLog(bundle).log(status);

Maybe something should guard this being used only on Linux? Maybe it works on Mac too? It definitely doesn't work on Windows...

Thanks for the report. I will disable unless there is something that can be done under Cygwin. I don't have access to a Windows box so won't be able to verify.

@merks Some more research. There is a man path preference you can set. In addition, man does work under Cygwin and is located at /usr/bin/man (the default). So, the log is there to indicate your setting of manpath is wrong. I could make a check for Windows and not Cygwin to not log the error. Does that work for you?

Sounds good. It’s just a nit. Thanks 🙏
