How to create the Scaladoc for a Maven+Scala 2.8+Java-Project with Scaladoc 2

Question

The question says it all. I couldn't find an example on the web how to use the Scaladoc 2, especially on a Maven Project.

I'm using Maven, Scala 2.8 and some Java classes, and the Maven Scala Plugin to build the project. But as it seems i cannot use the Maven Scala Plugin (where i could run mvn scala:doc) to create the docs because it uses VScaladoc - which has an issue on Scala 2.8/Scaladoc 2, resulting in an java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException

How can i build the Scaladoc for my project?

We're working on a fix, however I know DavidB and I are very short on free time, so patches are welcome! ;)

My guess (without looking into it) is that we don't have special handling for scaladoc vs. scaladoc2. The maven-scala-plugin attempts to handle Scala versions 2.6 (and less) -> 2.8 which is a pretty broad range. I'm guessing the special handling for 2.8+ versions is slightly off..
