Hi,
Thanks for noticing the glitch in the sdiffs, Naoto and Brent. I see
that there is indeed an issue with the webrev script and I'm looking
into a workaround.
The following classes are affected:
src/java.base/share/classes/java/lang/SecurityManager.java
src/java.base/share/classes/java/util/Calendar.java
src/java.base/share/classes/java/util/ResourceBundle.java
src/java.base/share/classes/java/util/regex/Matcher.java

Changed!

Brent, I can make this change but can the @link tag link to a HTML
id? It's not mentioned in the documentation
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/tools/windows/javadoc.html#link.
I expected occurrences of '<tt>' would need changes as well, but it
appears there aren't any in java.base (some previous effort cleaned this
up, I guess).
That's right, there are none in java.base.
I recall thinking that many of the <code> should actually be changed
to @link since use of <code> suggested ancient times before @link became
available.
But "Perfect is the enemy of good".
I agree, if that's ok I would leave that as future work ;)
Regards,
Julia
