The link to the `jar.html` file using the relative path `../jar/` should lead to the JAR File Specification document. For JavaSE 23, that specification documentation is located at https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/23/docs/specs/jar/jar.html

How can I test that the online version, for 23 hosted at https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/23/docs/specs/man/javac.html, contains the correct link target?
