Quick answer is, there isn't! WebHelp was first made as a Ant build, so the
webhelpindexer is also created as a Ant Task [1]. It needs to extend
org.apache.tools.ant.Task, which means, ultimately webhelpindexer depends on
Ant. I understand your situation, but currently I'm afraid, there's no get
around except changing the source AFAIK.
The Ant dependency needed by com.nexwave.nquindexer.IndexerTask, which the
main class. So, if you are familiar with Java, you may get webhelpindexer
working by changing that file with the help from [1]. In the meantime, I'll
see what I can do .
