[jdk17u-dev] RFR: 8297437: javadoc cannot link to old docs (with old style anchors)

Mon Feb 6 08:05:33 UTC 2023

Backporting to jdk17u for parity.

No tier1 regressions.
"test/langtools/jdk/javadoc" tests are passed.

There was a conflict in src/jdk.javadoc/share/classes/jdk/javadoc/internal/doclets/toolkit/util/Extern.java because of newest functions implemented in the upstream.  And additional changes have been made in TestLinkPlatform.java (lines 106, 136, 166) because of EARLIEST_VERSION=7 in jdk17.

The rest of conflicts are in copyright headers.
