Description Alexander Nyßen

Up to now we have dedicated ant-code (which is duplicated throughout all doc bundles) to determine the javadoc executable for the respective platforms. We should rather use the maven plug-in and create the javadoc from within the pom.xml.

It seems the javadoc generation process we have implemented is quite elaborated (offline-linking, etc.), so switching to javadoc plug-in will probably not bring any advantage. Resolving as WORKSFORME though.
