While the files being copied are represented in the JDK image with symbolic links, these links are (or should be) implicitly followed when the files are copied into the generated documentation.

For example, here are the files being copied:

lrwxr-xr-x  1 jjg  staff    36 May 23 13:49 ADDITIONAL_LICENSE_INFO -> ../java.base/ADDITIONAL_LICENSE_INFO
lrwxr-xr-x  1 jjg  staff    31 May 23 13:49 ASSEMBLY_EXCEPTION -> ../java.base/ASSEMBLY_EXCEPTION
lrwxr-xr-x  1 jjg  staff    20 May 23 13:49 LICENSE -> ../java.base/LICENSE
-r--r--r--  1 jjg  staff  2936 May 23 13:49 jquery.md
-r--r--r--  1 jjg  staff  1870 May 23 13:49 jqueryUI.md


Here are the files as they are found in generated documentation:

-rw-r--r--  1 jjg  staff   2114 May 23 13:52 ADDITIONAL_LICENSE_INFO
-rw-r--r--  1 jjg  staff   1514 May 23 13:52 ASSEMBLY_EXCEPTION
-rw-r--r--  1 jjg  staff  19274 May 23 13:52 LICENSE
-rw-r--r--  1 jjg  staff   2936 May 23 13:52 jquery.md
-rw-r--r--  1 jjg  staff   1870 May 23 13:52 jqueryUI.md


Note there are no symbolic links in the generated documentation.
