plugin should honor proxy settings
----------------------------------

         Key: MPJAVADOC-67
         URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPJAVADOC-67
     Project: maven-javadoc-plugin
        Type: Bug

 Environment: tested on Linux/Windows
    Reporter: Dirk Olmes
    Priority: Minor


The maven2 plugin should honor the proxy settings. When specifying the <link> 
option, the forked javadoc process always tries to fetch the package-list 
directly. This fails on corporate networks, where all web access has to go 
through a proxy.

I've tried to specify a proxy by using the <additionalparam> option but this 
does not work because all parameters for the javadoc process are written to an 
options file, which is passed to the forked javadoc process. By the time the 
javadoc process gets to see the arguments, it is already running so all VM 
parameters (-J-Dhttp.proxyHost...) cause errors.

The most seamless integration would be to pass whatever proxy is configured to 
the forked javadoc process. Configuration options for specifying the proxy for 
the javadoc-plugin would be acceptable, too.
