==== Javadoc and Groovydoc don't include timestamps by default

Timestamps in the generated documentation have very limited practical use, however they make it impossible to have repeatable documentation builds.
Therefore, the `Javadoc` and `Groovydoc` tasks are now configured to not include timestamps by default any more.

====
Toolchain support is available in the Java plugins and for the tasks they define.

For the Groovy plugin, compilation is supported but not yet Groovydoc generation.
For the Scala plugin, compilation and Scaladoc generation are supported.

 * The link:{groovyDslPath}/org.gradle.api.tasks.javadoc.Javadoc.html[`Javadoc`] and link:{groovyDslPath}/org.gradle.api.tasks.javadoc.Groovydoc.html[`Groovydoc`] tasks now delete the destination dir for the documentation before executing. This has been added to remove stale output files from the last task execution.
