Description

Java7 changes its javadocs to look much nicer, but this involves different CSS styles.

Lucene overrides the CSS with stylesheet+prettify.css which is a combination of java5/6 stylesheet + google prettify:
but there are problems because java7 has totally different styles.

So if you generate javadocs with java7, its like you have no stylesheet at all.

A solution might be to make stylesheet7+prettify.css and conditionalize a property in ant based on java version.
