That's standard Emacs practice. It is mentioned in the package info
shown by M-x list-packages, C-s ada, <ret>.

How else should we present that information so you would have found it
quicker?

You also have to tell Emacs that is the current project. Note that the
directory containing the project file is included by default, so you
don't need that src_dir entry. You also have to specify the gpr file.

You should work thru the tutorials in the info manual; they give working
examples of the various ways to use project files. The simplest way is
to use the gpr file itself as the ada-mode project file.

There is a section in ada-mode.info titled "Project Files". The first
line in that refers to the info file for wisi project files. That file
has a section titled "Project extension" (this could have a better
name). In there is a section titled "selecting projects".
