If I remember correctly, the context help uses a vi style tag 
file to locate entries, so that if there is a local copy of those
source files, one can generate a new tag file pointing to local
contents.  That should be described in the jtag of GTKIDE guide
and inside base.cfg file.

the joxygen is inside svn but not yet release.  It was there 
since last year.  Part of its manifest is as follows,

NB. joxygen manifest

CAPTION=: 'Documenting J Scripts'

DESCRIPTION=: 0 : 0
Parses in-script comments to that use Joxygen conventions.
Outputs various documentation formats.
