Description

Using -link option with javadoc produces invalid URL.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Set -link https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/ in project>build>Documenting Additional Javadoc Options field

2. Generate Javadoc for this project

3. Click on any class reference pointing to externally linked documentation (for example java.lang.Object)

Link appears to point to:

https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java/lang/Object.html?is-external=true

instead of: 

https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/Object.html

The missing bit is java.base module part of the url

This problem is not reproduced in NetBeans 10
