> This patch adds a new message when you run the `javadoc` executable with any arguments.
> Currently, unlike most other tools, running `javadoc` without any arguments does not show you how to use the tool or point you to use the `--help` option, this can be improved.
> 
> Before change:
> 
> W $ ./javadoc
> error: No modules, packages or classes specified.
> 1 error
> 
> 
> After change:
> 
> W $ ./javadoc
> Usage:
>     javadoc [options] [packagenames] [sourcefiles] [@files]
> For additional help on usage:           javadoc --help
