Hi, for the maven-javadoc-plugin we're getting several requests related to linking to most recent JDK classes. Currently we need update this inside the plugin, so people always need to wait for a new release of the plugin (or manually configure to the right source, but most won't do that). There is already a ticket for it: JDK-8216497 It would be great for the Java and Maven community if this issue could get more attention.
regards, Robert Scholte [1] https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8216497
