Description

Edit: this ticket was originally just about adding the R package docs, but it seems that the JS and Java docs aren't getting built as part of the release process anymore, so that needs to be fixed.

 

Original description:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-5452 added the R pkgdown site config. Adding the wiring into the apidocs build scripts was deferred because there was some discussion about which workflow was supported and which was deprecated.  

Uwe says: "Have a look at https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/docs/Dockerfile and https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/ci/docker_build_sphinx.sh Add that and a docs-r entry in the main docker-compose.yml should be sufficient to get it running in the docker setup. But actually I would rather like to see that we also add the R build to the above linked files."
