The values in the template are resolved when javadoc is executed, depending on the locale in use at the time. Because of the change in the file's extension, two makefiles are updated to accommodate the new extension: one is for the "interim" javadoc used to generate the API docs; the other is for the primary javadoc in the main JDK image.

I see the added check for "##REPLACE:" in TestSearch.java will catch that case, so I guess it's ok.
