Javadoc is generated, so no point flagging it

Better, it should be configurable whether to scan javadoc. Maybe an 'ignore path' config parameter.
sebbASF commented
Not sure why one would ever want to scan Javadoc as well as the source from which it is generated.
There is already a way to ignore paths, but it means every project with Javadoc has to update their config.

Agreed, virtually no one wants to scan javadoc. But neither do you want the tool skipping directories because it wrongly thinks they contain javadoc.
sebbASF commented
The tool should anyway list which directories are skipped.
Note that Javadoc directory trees have a standard set of files, so should be reasonably easy to detect with few false positives
