That looks like a good start. I wonder if the explicit start of a subprocess
could be replaced with javax.tools.ToolProvider.getSystemDocumentationTool()
and the corresponding API.

I think that could be simple enough to just directly use from the
JavaScript, which would mean the mojo would not have to be called
JavadocMojo or have Javadoc-specific functionality built in. It could
concentrate on being a plugin that allows scripting of new reports in
general to run in the site lifecycle.

It might (or, then again, might not) work to guard against that concern
by factoring some initialization code into a method of its own, to be
called from wrappers around the various interface methods.
