Description

This nice little service http://javadoc.io/ could be used to render our javadocs, but there are multiple jars per project. So there are 2 choices:

  1. Make a new page in each project's documentation that lists links to all javadocs, one per jar
  2. Publish an aggregate jar and make it appear in http://javadoc.io/. For that to work we'd have to know a little bit about the internals of the service (does it support this kind of aggregation?).

Option 1 is easier for us, but option 2 is more convenient for users.

Research direction

No source files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by comparing the two proposed approaches and checking whether javadoc.io supports aggregate jars; done requires an agreed automation path that exposes all project javadocs through the service.
