next gen javadoc

[Sean Hogan]

I've revisited replacing <frameset>s with a AJAX + history.pushState
framework and thought I'd play around with the javadoc UI again.

You can see a current working prototype at:

http://playground.meekostuff.net/javadoc/jdk9/docs/api/overview-summary.html

Same notes and caveats as last time:

- this is a proof-of-concept

- navigating a hyperlink or via back and forwards buttons updates the
address-bar URL

- the original javadoc output HTML is completely unchanged.

- the UI is in one separate HTML document...

- so updating the UI is simple and independent of javadoc generation

- there is only this one modified javadoc set on the site. If you view
this set and follow a hyperlink to an external page then you will
receive an error page

- there is also a javascript bookmarklet that can apply the UI to
javadoc7,8,9 generated sites.

Feedback is welcome.

regards,
Sean
