Almost certainly.  I think the issue here is that one or two people need
to take ownership of "The JavaDoc Task Problem" and fix it :-)

Step 1 would be to set up a JIRA issue.

I haven't actually done any research on the source code yet (I will see
if I can take some time on it tomorrow), but I don't see why Gradle
can't just provide a thin Adapter (or, if necessary, Façade) to the
JavaDoc Ant Task.  Of course, I may be missing something obvious...
