Description

Versions 3.3.0 and 3.3.1 of the Javadoc Plugin create allclasses-frame.html and allclasses-noframe.html files that duplicate all classes, interfaces, etc.

To reproduce:

• Clone https://github.com/robtimus/data-url (a simple and small project that can be used to showcase the issue)
• Run mvn javadoc:javadoc, which uses version 3.2.0
• Check target/site/apidocs/allclasses-frame.html - no duplicates
• Run mvn javadoc:javadoc -Dversion.plugin.javadoc=3.3.0 to build the same with version 3.3.0
• Check target/site/apidocs/allclasses-frame.html - all classes are duplicated

The same issue occurs with javadoc:aggregate, possibly others as well.
