JavaDoc Central

Artifacts in Maven Central typically provide a JavaDoc Jar that contains the versioned documentation for the artifact. While IDEs use this to display the docs for a library, it is also sometimes nice to browse the docs in a web browser. This project is a simple web app that allows you to view the JavaDoc for any artifact in Maven Central.
