Description

Users cannot generate JavaDoc for their modular projects since Apache NetBeans IDE 9.0 version, because Ant does not support it yet.

http://ant.apache.org/manual/using.html#arg

tomas_zezula, how difficult would it be to create a pull request for Ant and then integrate with NetBeans?

Steps to reproduce:

1. Launch Apache NetBeans IDE 9.0
2. Invoke File > New Project... from main menu
3. Select Java category and Java Modular Project type
4. Push Next > and Finish buttons
5. Right click your JavaApplication project node

Expected: There is Generate JavaDoc item in the popup menu.

Actual: There is no Generate JavaDoc item in the popup menu.
