JavaDoc Jar Viewer

It has become a standard to distribute JavaDocs as Jar files. These distributions are handy when used with tools like Maven and your IDE. But what happens when you want to view it? We have to create a temporary directory to extract the Jar, then launch a browser to view the content. What a pain! Now we have a command-line tool to do these manual steps for you.
