I think this should work in the context of Debian. It's kind of funny that we always argue about the usage of Debian packages (e.g. the Spring framework clearly intended to be for web development, affected by numerous security vulnerabilities but it is assumed nobody uses it in production environments but only for building unrelated packages), still we care about the use case of shipping javadoc outside of a Debian environment. In my opinion this issue should be fixed at the OpenJDK level. I am the one who filed bug #883981 and I'm a bit disappointed that it was closed automatically, not even reassigned to openjdk-10. IMO it would be possible to create a javahelper/maven-debian-helper/etc option to choose between embedding jquery into javadoc or symlinking to the system libraries. I believe the use case of viewing javadoc outside of a Debian system is negligible and we should just symlink jquery. Markus
