Make targets

[Iris Clark]

Hi, Jesper.

I second "make docs".  That and "make clean" are my most used make targets when I'm working on the platform JSR.  (Yes, that's pretty unique and rather specific...)

Note that a number of classes in the javadoc API are generated during the build, so "make docs" might do more than simply invoke javadoc, depending on the state of your build.

Thanks,
Iris

If updating the javadoc, I recommend "make docs" to check the results.
