Description

It looks like MJAVADOC-76 was closed prematurely, or maybe it just had a bad summary. The bug is this: if you have a "doc-files" folder in the "src/main/resources" branch of your project, its contents will be omitted from the Javadoc output. However, if you move the same folder over to "src/main/java", it will be included in the output. This bug is present in the released (2.0) version of the plugin.

The file "package.html", by comparison, will be included in the Javadoc output no matter where it is. This is the expected behavior, AFAICT. More information about the "doc-files" directory can be found here: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/tooldocs/windows/javadoc.html#unprocessed
