Version builds should automatically update Javadoc in subversion

[GoogleCodeExporter]

We should come up with a script or ant section or some other simple way of 
doing all the steps necessary to update the javadoc when a new version is 
released.

Copying over the current manual steps to do that from issue 32:
* generate the javadoc in the trunk inside ./doc
* svn rm ../javadoc/latest-stable/*
* svn ci ../javadoc/latest-stable
* cp -r doc/* ../javadoc/latest-stable
* svn add ../javadoc/latest-stable/*
* set the svn:mime-type property on all .html files in the repository to 
text/html 

Not sure if this is the easiest way to do that, if not, please comment on this 
issue.

I could come up with a bash script that does that easily, but are builders 
using linux/unix?

(Oops, I though I'd replied to this earlier ... note to self, "hitting" reply 
in email doesn't seem to update the bug. Apologies.)

As far as I know, all our developers have access to some bash-compatible 
system, so it's fine to assume that bash scripts work for releases. There are 
likely to be even fewer release engineers than general contributors anyway, so 
I don't think we need to be very general here.

I have checked in the script update-release-docs.sh which should do this. It 
has to be run from the trunk root directory. This script so far assumes that 
every step will work fine (no error checking is done).
