Description

Steps to reproduce:

0) Hit ctrl-space on e.g. System.out.println(). Popup Javadoc appears correctly.

1) Click "Show documentation in external web browser" button (second from right in popup toolbar).

2) Browser will report a 404 because the URL is

https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java/io/PrintStream.html

instead of

https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.base/java/io/PrintStream.html

This appears to happen with all base classes, e.g.

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

instead of
https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/Math.html
