It'd be really cool if Maven could link the generated javadoc to all the
dependent projects. So if a project was dependent on servlet-2.3 and
commons-foo then the projects javadoc would link to those of servlet-2.3 and
commons-foo.

I guess Maven could figure this out, if dependencies had a project.xml which
contained the location of the javadoc. We could maybe give Maven a hand for
now by doing...

<dependency>
<name>dom4j</name>
<type>required</type>
<version>1.3</version>
<jar>dom4j-1.3.jar</jar>
<javadoc>http://dom4j.org/javadoc/</javadoc>
</dependency>

Then the javadoc task, maybe in maven-ng, could add <link> elements inside
the <javadoc> task with all the <javadoc> links from the project.xml.
