   > In other words, the user can ask "execute xalan tests", and Gradle would 
know it does not need building javadocs
   
   While I agree that Maven is not as dependency-driven as I would have 
expected/hoped it to be all these decades after `make`, this particular example 
turns out to be false, at least in this build. Javadoc is built as part of the 
`site` phase, which is not part of the compilation/test path. In fact that's a 
bit of a nuisance since I want doc included in one of the the zipped images, 
and the latter are produced during `package` which does not normally imply 
`site`. My mvnbuild script had to deal with that. (I have an idea for an ugly 
solution to that, but that's a further digression.)
   
   But Javadoc/stylebook processing really is optional when not publishing for 
release.
