Description

The classpath for javadoc generation is currently generated by the artifacts involved (providing api). The dependencies for those artifacts are assembled in a set.
The first problem is that this set does not have a fixed order, so the execution might be random; another problem is that usually this assembles a lot of duplicate artifacts in different versions - and then the order gets important.
We should provide a fixed order together with some manipulation options like removing artifacts from the classpath, just keeping a single version (highest) of an artifact or moving artifacts to the top of the classpath
