IMHO, as a develop, I like having the javadoc already available, either as
part of the -source.jaror a -javadoc.jar so if someone wants it they can
download it.

Personally, I use a repository manager for various projects and don't
actually download the source for any library but I do download the javadoc
automatically so that it incorporates into my Eclipse project and I have
full access to whatever version the project is using at the moment.  It
would be a bit of pain to have to roll my own javadoc and upload it locally
to the manager -- that would also disable any update tools since I would
have to use the local version to keep the links together.
