Perhaps ant -projecthelp could be spawned inside of the beanshell. This would avoid the JVM startup costs. For that matter, maybe ant could always be spawned in the beanshell. The only difficulty I see would be to capture its output properly and display in an *ant* buffer running in compilation-mode. But maybe it isn't all that difficult, just tedious.

For this purpose one could also use regexps or sgml-mode functions.
This would definitely be faster, but would require more work. Users
who don't want to have a JVM launched when running jde-ant-build would
probably simply set jde-ant-read-target to nil. I guess it is
especially annoying if the list has to be rebuilt every time the
command is invoked. Or can this be delayed until the user actually
tries to make use of completion (i.e. hitting TAB, SPACE, or RET)?
