Please add support for creating new package.html files for javadoc. See http://java.sun.com/j2se/javadoc/writingdoccomments/package-template for an template you could use. Please provide the possibility to add only the HTML file, but also add it to "Java Package", e.g. by offering it to the user using a check mark. This will be the first difference between "Java Package" and "Folder"!
An additional idea is to add package.html support to the NetBeans "Auto Comment" tool. That would be even better, since it's more integrated.
Wrong component.
Does java module provide an extension point for it? I do not require the possibility to plugin a component with the checkbox (I can use global setting) but I need to get notified that java package was created at certain location. Return back on javadoc module if there is such hook.
I guess that adding a package.html template would be useful and can be done by javadoc module. Reassigning to javadoc. I am not sure about the checkbox in new JavaPackage. UI guys should evaluate this.

Can instead use package-info.java when SourceLevelQuery reports level 1.5 or higher.
package-info.java preferred.
