I think that the real issue isn't what we do in Fedora, but that gjdoc
is more or less unmaintained upstream.  So, while we were upgrading
the whole toolchain to deal with Java 5, gjdoc got left behind.  Then
we had to find the cheapest way to pick up the pieces ... not very fun
and not the best results :(

Longer term I suppose OpenJDK will be opening their javadoc "soon".
