Rather than embed a URL in the help output, which needs to be updated if the location of docs ever changes, just include a description of the document so it can be looked up. The output now looks like:


$ ./java -agentlib:jdwp=help
               Java Debugger JDWP Agent Library
               --------------------------------

  (See the "Oracle VM Invocation Options" section of the JPDA
   "Connection and Invocation Details" document for more information.)

jdwp usage: java -agentlib:jdwp=[help]|[<option>=<value>, ...]

Option Name and Value            Description                       Default
---------------------            -----------                       -------
suspend=y|n                      wait on startup?                  y
transport=<name>                 transport spec                    none
