[jira] [Created] (MJAVADOC-759) protected static --> static in JavadocUtil

Elliotte Rusty Harold created MJAVADOC-759:
----------------------------------------------

             Summary: protected static --> static in JavadocUtil
                 Key: MJAVADOC-759
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MJAVADOC-759
             Project: Maven Javadoc Plugin
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Elliotte Rusty Harold


JavadocUtil is essentially a static utility class that should not be instantiated or subclassed. However it has many protected static methods that likely should have been package protected (default access) instead. 

If we can stomach the minor API breakage of hiding these methods, that makes some other changes like moving to the Tool Provider API simpler.
