Created a JIRA task:

http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-1253

As far as Javadoc is concerned, it does require Java 5. It uses standard javadoc
tags introduced in Java 5. We also have a custom taglet (gt2-javadoc) which was
wrote at user's request: users wanted to know in which modules are defined each
classes. The taglet API was not stabilized in Sun's JDK before Java 5.

Things may become easier when Geotools will be allowed to target Java 5: Javadoc
will work with the same JDK, the "unsupported/geometry" module will become an
ordinary module (no more "enable on Java 5" profile hack) and we will not need
anymore the "geoapi-nogenerics" hack. I really miss generic types, and my code
has many "todo: uncomment when we will be allowed to compile for J2SE 1.5".
Carrying Java 1.4 compatibility is becoming heavier and heavier...
