I am completely unfamiliar with Java, but familiar with a variety of other languages. I took a look at the code and I don't *think* the indexer makes use of any Ant facilities, so I suspect all it needs is to be uncoupled from Ant by redefining the method. I shall take a poke at it myself, but hope that someone with actual Java skills does the same!

    Is there a standalone version of webhelpindexer.jar?  I'm in an
    Ant-free environment.  I can compile webhelp contents from the

    to be in the classpath, making much sadness.


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 .
