I’ve seen a few threads which seems to indicate the way forward is to
have
the help materials to be translated into some common format (i.e. either
html, asciidoc, docwiki) and then render either in a internal/external
web
view or have some new component to render the context as applicable. To
minimize the work on updating help, I believe the hope was these would be
basically backwards compatible to reduce the need for too much
translation.
So all that said, is anyone actively developing an Alternative Help?

May be I can extract the more generic part an open source it, but I can
not say in which time frame due to my daily work.
Here is an eary version: https://github.com/nigjo/nb-help
The default implementation just sends the JavaHelp page to the local
Browser. No navigation like in JavaHelp itself. It is possible to reuse
this in an RCP and the implementations can be replaced by own
"renderers". I updated our own help system to use this module, so this
might be updated in the future.
There are currently not that many JavaDocs, but most is done via
services. Also there are no security checks for the output, so be aware
and use it only in an trusted environment.
