Documentation states that fork is needed since javadoc calls System.exit. This 
is not accurate.  
A simple Security Manager can be installed at runtime that checks for "exitVM" 
inside of 
"checkPermission".  This would allow Ant to maintain control of System.exit() 
until it was ready 
to exit.  This would also alleviate the need for the fork.  We are doing this 
now, on-site, due to the 
fact that we build about 10 different javadoc packages per build.  This 
enhancement should speed 
up the process and reduce the overhead.
