Over at the Apache Maven project we often set a property in the POM
called mavenVersion. That is then used for both prerequisites.maven and
the dependencies on Maven core artifacts. If we do so here, we could use
that parameter for the Javadoc links. We could put a default value for
it in the parent POM to make sure that it is always present.
