Actually it does support the overview capability.  See below.

This is unnecessary.  If you search a little further down for "overview" within 
plugin.jelly, you
should find the following:

        <j:if test="${context.getVariable('maven.javadoc.overview') != null}">
          <ant:setProperty name="overview" value="${maven.javadoc.overview}" />
        </j:if>

As shown above, the recognized variable is maven.javadoc.overview, not 
maven.javadoc.overviewfile.

Yes, you were missing something :-)

However, as I posted in a message just a couple of days ago, the javadocs do not 
appear to be
generated correctly.  Although the overview file is picked up correctly (and its 
contents appear
within the generated javadocs), the package listing is missing.  The packages are 
neither
displayed within the usual summary table along with the overview contents, nor are 
they listed in
the usual frame at the lower left (in the frames view).

Anyone having the same problem?
