Thank you for posting this.
Trying it just now, the .zip file does not have a
\javahelp-2.0_05\binary folder.
Hoping to build the jhall.jar, I
1. downloaded the source from github.com/javaee/javahelp. and
2. in a CentOS 7 virtual machine (since my Windows 10 machine doesn't
have the required build tools) I ran make from the
javahelp-2.0_05/jhMaster folder.
This eventually gives a set of errors. Alas, I'm too much of a noob in
both Linux and Java to figure out what to try next.
Maybe someone here will have a suggestion.

Hi,
I am not sure it is the right way to do it but here is how I included
JavaHelp in my application suite to migrate it from NetBeans 8.2 to
NetBeans 11.3.
1)Downloaded JavaHelp from https://github.com/javaee/javahelp/releases
2)Unzipped the file
3)Added the jhall.jar as a wrapped jar into the modules that use JavaHelp
(from \javahelp-2.0_05\binary\javahelp-2_0_05\jh2.0\javahelp\lib folder)
4)To avoid the error message “/You must set 'jhall.jar' (e.g. in
private.properties) to the location of jsearch.jar from a JavaHelp
distribution/” I checked the file issuing this error message
NetBeans-11.3\netbeans\harness\build.xml
<target name="javahelp" depends="init" if="has.javahelp">
<!-- Similar to projectized.xml but does not fiddle with
usersguide/.../ide.css, and finds jhall.jar differently: -->
<property name="jhall.jar"
location="${harness.dir}/antlib/jsearch-2.0_05.jar"/>
<available property="jhall.jar.exists" file="${jhall.jar}"/>
<fail unless="jhall.jar.exists">You must set 'jhall.jar' (e.g.
in private.properties) to the location of jsearch.jar from a JavaHelp
distribution</fail>
<mkdir
dir="${build.javahelp.dir}/${javahelp.base}/${javahelp.search}"/>
<copy todir="${build.javahelp.dir}">
…………………………………………….
Then I copied jsearch.jar into NetBeans-11.3\netbeans\harness\antlib
and renamed it jsearch-2.0_05.jar
I am pretty sure this is not the right method but it worked for me
Best wishes,
JCD

JavaHelp is not included in Apache NetBeans GitHub because it is
GPL licensed, which is against Apache policy, and therefore is
also not part of Apache NetBeans, it never has been and never will
be unless it is licensed, which seems unlikely to happen. It is
something you'll need to add yourself somehow -- someone who
figures out how should share that with this mailing list.
