Description

While playing with with doclava, it looks this doclet in some case needs some dependencies which are not provided when running javadoc.
My use which fail : I depends on ehcache-core:2.4.2 which has provided dependency to javax.transaction:jta:1.1 .
So I propose to be able to add additionnal dependencies as :

<additionnalDependencies>
  <additionnalDependency>
    <groupId>geronimo-spec</groupId>
    <artifactId>geronimo-spec-jta</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.1B-rc4</version>
  </additionnalDependency>
</additionnalDependencies>

Those dependencies will be add in -classpath of javadoc cli.
