Allow additional 'maven.docs.src' directories to be specified
-------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: MPXDOC-146
         URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPXDOC-146
     Project: maven-xdoc-plugin
        Type: Improvement
    Versions: 1.9    
    Reporter: Jamie Bisotti
 Assigned to: Arnaud HERITIER 


Assume a directory structure like the following:

common/
   xdoc/
      foo/
   project.xml
   project.properties
project1/
   ...
   xdoc/
   project.xml
   project.properties
project2/
   ...
   xdoc/
   project.xml
   project.properties

where "projectN" extends "common".  The "common/xdoc/foo" documentation applies 
to all "projectN"; I don't want to duplicate it, so it lives in "common".  
However, in order to get it included in the site for "projectN", I have to have 
a preGoal on xdoc:copy-user-resources to copy it to "projectN/xdoc/foo".  This 
results in a needless copy and it causes problems with SVN marking these copied 
files as needing to be added to the repository.

I'd like to see one of two enhancements (or both):
   1. Add a property ('maven.docs.src.additional', or whatever), which would 
specify a list of additional directories that would be included in the xdoc 
transformation; this would prevent the copy and the SVN confusion.
   2. By default, if a project extends another project, look for, and include, 
the xdoc of the extended project in the extending projects xdoc transformation.
