      Description

      The jhall.jar used by the Jalview help system is somewhat out of date (although clearly still functional).
      To include the indexing stage of the build on debian will require using the version of jhall.jar already in debian (or repackaging an ancient version). javahelp is no longer maintained by sun.
      Most recent information and sources are still available at:
      https://javaee.github.io/javahelp/
      https://github.com/javaee/javahelp
      and in debian:
      https://packages.debian.org/sid/javahelp2
