Hi,

I will take a look at the pull, though if you can automate everything, I
tend to say that it's the good solution whatever the time the build takes.
Regarding Javadocs, yes, we can push them online, but I wouldn't bother too
much on this.
Generally, I want to browse sources in my IDE for external libraries or I
use grepcode.com which is a lot easier than static Javadocs.
Best regards,
Jérôme
