We're trying to remove t he following section of what Javadoc finally spits out: Its the tree that is generated at the top of the page, as shown here:

We want to remove t hat and be able to list our documentation at the top of the page. Is it possible to configure javadoc in such a way?
Hi,
-notree option supported by the Standard Doclet (i.e. the default Javadoc) removes the class/interface hierarchy tree.
Concerning the general "question on editing javadoc final appearance", I can say that far not everything is possible to customize in the standard doclet using only command line options and switches. It is hardcoded after all. So ultimately, you would need to change its Java source each time you need something extra.
However, there is a tool that allows to customize both the appearance of the generated docs and very much beyond. The tool is called DocFlex/Javadoc:

This is a template-driven doclet, which includes the graphics Template Designer. It is also supplied with a ready-to-use set of templates, which generate the framed HTML documentation very much similar to that produced by the standard doclet.
Those templates are also able to generate the entire Java API documentation in the form of a single output file both in HTML and RTF format. The RTF is of the exceptional quality. No other software we have ever seen so far was able to generate such an RTF!
See these examples:

The entire doclet is implemented effectively as a set of templates open for any customizations (that is exactly the major feature of the product itself). Using the template designer, you can change any appearance of the final documentation as you wish just in a few minutes. You can also design your own doclet from scratch to generate a documentation with any different layout, look and content.
People said this tool saved them months of work! Pay just a couple hundred of bucks, you can save thousands!
