Looks goood. Meanwhile, do you think we should retain external link support via a system property? For the Java SE API specification only distribution for JCP, we might want to link to a static link instead of a local relative link. (I think as long as we can link, a relative link like here is better because it will be stable in the specdiff for JCP review, avoiding spams) Since we removed the system property jspec.version, we should be able to remove this from the build files too: https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/066810c877b206a66cc87537487b17f0481646c3/make/Docs.gmk#L295 ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/28207#issuecomment-3505717390
