Basically, I tend to agree with you Kenney. But I have users who love to use Shift+F2 within eclipse (which opens a browser like window with the view of the javadoc in eclipse), and I don't really see why those users should be denied to use their eclipse the way they want.
I have attached a path to MECLIPSE-292 which adds a downloadJavadoc parameter, working the way Sources is working. This way everybody will be able to choose. Right now fallback from sources to javadoc isn't available, but if you think this feature is worth it, I can fix it.
