Description

The version of javadoc that ships with Java 8 has changed such that any value supplied to the -link option must have a trailing slash (at least on my Mac).

Line 2932 of AbstractJavadocMojo.java programmatically strips the trailing slashes from the links property elements, ensuring that javadoc version 8 cannot process its -link options properly.
