Does the maven-javadoc-plugin work on source files exclusively, or could I, for example, run it on a monstrous .ear project and have it pick up sources.jars where they exist?
For example, Enunciate, a tool to generate JAX-RS documentation, which requires source code access, automatically finds a dependency's source artifact and uses it when the source code is not available as part of the project in which it is run. I was curious if either (a) the maven-javadoc-plugin does this already or (b) if it is something worth proposing as a feature. Best, Laird -- http://about.me/lairdnelson
