This is indeed unintended behavior (but I knew about it for a long time,
just waited for somebody to need it badly enough so that I could address
more pressing things in the meantime).

The reason is that we no longer build Fiji from scratch, but rely on
pre-compiled third-party components. The side effect is that we can no
longer build a completely unified Javadoc, so for the moment,
http://fiji.sc/javadoc/ only contains documentation for the classes
defined in Fiji's source code (https://github.com/fiji/fiji).

I will install redirects for the most important components such as ImageJ
1.x, ImgLib2, ImageJ 2 and Bio-Formats today (I just cannot take care of
that right now: I am typing this on a phone).

Ciao,
Johannes
