> protected static --> static in JavadocUtil
> ------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MJAVADOC-759
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MJAVADOC-759
> Project: Maven Javadoc Plugin (Moved to GitHub Issues)
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Elliotte Rusty Harold
> Priority: Minor
>
> JavadocUtil is essentially a static utility class that should not be
> instantiated or subclassed. However it has many protected static methods that
> likely should have been package protected (default access) instead.
> If we can stomach the minor API breakage of hiding these methods, that makes
> some other changes like moving to the Tool Provider API simpler.
