Henri, Is there some mechanism in maven that we can use to help automate this? Perhaps in the multiproject plugin which will automatically generate javadocs with the proper cross referencing and gather the docs.
If we can find a standard way to make this happen (via a plugin) with the maven folks several projects can then benefit from it. Hope everyone enjoyed their 4th of July btw.
