[threeten-dev] [threeten-develop] Threeten javadoc with packages renamed

[Stephen Colebourne]

Large packages seems to be a JDK thing. The decision we seem to have
taken is to keep the top package small so newcomers are not
overwhelmed. The trade off is that this package is larger.

Picking on one of the 29 items doesn't really change the size of the
package. The classes/interfaces we do have seem to me to be a good set
of things that we've been working towards for 5 years.
