Hi,
If you use the maven javadoc plugin, you'll have your doc on the
${project.build.directory} folder (so if eclipse supports local uri
patterns you can play with this: e.g.
platform://resource/<project>/<build>/javadoc/index.html). You can also use
this plugin with a CI server like Jenkins (and filling the website url
section of your pom with the jenkins url generated javadoc for example, or
configuring the url location pattern on your Eclipse...).
