             Project: Maven Javadoc Plugin
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 2.10
            Reporter: Vincent Zurczak
            Priority: Minor


Hi,

When we generate Javadoc with the maven-javadoc-plugin, we can use the *stylesheetfile* parameter to specify a custom CSS file for the generated HTML pages.

This file can be a local file, as well as a resource located in Maven dependencies. However, it does not work if the parameter value is set to a public URL (a static resource on a web server). This would be a nice enhancement. Initially, I had created a Maven module that would contain such resources, but it resulted in adding a lot of complexity to my release process. Having some static resources on a web server is much more simple.

I wanted to submit a patch myself for this feature.
But I was wondering how I could do that. This [page|http://maven.apache.org/guides/development/guide-m2-development.html#Creating_and_submitting_a_patch] indicates we should attach a patch file to this issue. I was wondering if proposing pull requests on the GitHub mirror was also working.
