In the new test, the use of LocalDate.now() will lead to occasional 
spurious test
failures, when now() isn't the same as it was when javadoc wrote the file.

I don't have a good suggestion, other than to exclude the exact date 
from the
comparison. Anything more sophisticated would involve reading the file to
find that line, and find the date on the line, and verify the value looks
"reasonable". In between, there would be the ability to do regex matching
on the file contents, but we didn't get around to designing/supporting 
that yet.
