I see several aspects of the Java on-line documentation that are
appealing, and with which we need to compete:
1) It has browsing/search capabilities (which you say is better in GPS).
2) It is free (I guess GPS is distributed for free, even outside GAP?)
3) It does not require a user to install anything special on the
local system, or to be using a particular programming
support environment. (This seems to be a shortcoming with GPS).
I guess (3) could be ameliorated if the browsable documentation
were de-coupled from GPS, and bundled into the default GNAT
packages that people get when they install the various Linux
distributions.
