Ah, pity. It doesn't sound like it would be too complex to do
something like that. I couldn't find site-dev archives for more
details. Is the list private?

OK, I think that's reasonable. How about if we also generated static
javadoc and xref reports for each release? That should be good enough
for the occasional user.

We can also handle the alternating row issue with the following
maven.xml addition:

    <postGoal name="xdoc">
        <ant:replaceregexp
            match="&lt;tr class=&quot;b&quot;&gt;"
            replace="&lt;tr class=&quot;a&quot;&gt;" flags="g" byline="true">
            <ant:fileset dir="${maven.docs.dest}" includes="**/*.html"/>
        </ant:replaceregexp>
    </postGoal>

It makes the tables slightly less readable, but cuts down the amount
extra changes. And as Roy mentioned, we could always compensate with
extra CSS.
