You can turn that off with the -public option for the JavaDoc command, 
which restricts the output to public classes and members.

I guess I prefer to be able to make that choice for myself.  Loop counters 
are uninteresting, yes, but the heavy use of private in packages like XT 
has caused me more than a few problems.

I guess I'm just happier with XML's all information is public approach - if 
it's not relevant, it shouldn't be in the doc...
