Description

In a multi-module project, all modules are "built" twice for each module. This leads to huge performance problems when many modules are in a project. In the attached sample project, the xmlbeans plugin is executed 27 times for a project with one parent module and two submodules. 18 of these executions can be attributed to the javadoc plugin. With version 2.2, only 3 invocations (once for each project) are caused by the javadoc plugin.
