I tried the experiment of making the javadoc task depend on the compile
task, and of course it failed as there is no way of setting the
classpath for the javadoc task -- which is needed to include the classes
of Groovy sources in the parsing.

So until the JavaDoc task is fixed properly, there seems no hope to
getting rid of the messages.  GRADLE-360 sets out one of the issues, but
there are many others.

I probably won't be able to get stuck in to this in the next week or so
(nor the Ant task, I'm afraid) -- a paying job has come up and it is
Python oriented, and I cannot afford to give up on anything that gives
me some income.
