Hear hear!  Javadocs are not a "project report" for anyone who uses
these sites.  This one we can't blame on Maven, though, can we?  I
always assumed it was our setup of Maven.


What exactly is broken here?
Sites that follow the instructions here
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/building.html
or start with the sample nav here
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jakarta/commons/proper/commons-build/trunk/navigation.xml.sample
will link to current and previous release javadoc from the top level
nav.  Pretty much all maven-generated commons sites do this now.

The real challenge is what Stephen mentioned and Brett responed to,
which is how to maintain javadoc for past releases.  Now these files
have to be manually pushed out and links custom coded in
navigation.xml.

You're missing the point here, Phil. It's working as someone intended, I'm sure, but the location of Javadocs buried under "Project Reports" is bad from an end-user usability perspective. Granted, consistency is a good thing and frequent users may eventually learn, but it would be better for javadocs to be a top-level menu item. The "Javadoc Report" is a report and is in the right place but the Javadocs themselves are misplaced.
