Yeah, the test failure I mentioned at jdk-updates-dev@ is the leftover from applying your backport.
I did not manage to test it properly yet before suggesting for jdk11u backport.

There is no record for 11u in JIRA, because there is no backport to 11u. Replying in JIRA comment is
not enough, you need to follow this process: https://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk-updates/ -- and,
given the patch does not apply cleanly to 11u, the additional RFR for 11u.

Time permitting, I'd give that backport a try again, if no one else gets to it first. I was also
hoping new maven-javadoc-plugin releases and fixes at least some of the issues.
