Description

1. Open testcase
2. mvn javadoc:jar
3. Notice that generated Javadoc contains broken link to java.lang.Number

It doesn't look like one can link to the JDK as of version 11 because the URL structure changed since Java 10.

Java 10: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/10/docs/api/java/lang/Number.html
Java 11: https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/Number.html

Please see https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8191363 for a related discussion. If any syntax change is required in the pom, please consider updating https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-javadoc-plugin/examples/links-configuration.html accordingly.
