Re: 1. Provide a command-line option for toggling the page generation, similar to other options like "-noindex", "-notree", "-use", etc. Any new option should follow the guidelines for command-line options in JEP 293 http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/293 In this case, that would suggest a name like --no-properties or --no-system-properties. That might be an opportunity to change to --no-index, --no-tree etc Alternatively, it might be an opportunity to combine these "feature" options, into some like the javac/javadoc Xlint option, such as --feature all:-tree --feature:tree,use,system-properties where the basic option name (such as --feature) is a separate bike-shed.
