Hello Phil & Brian,
Thanks for your inputs. I have removed the references to TIFF links since we don't have proper replacement from Adobe for the same. Please find updated webrev for review: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jdv/8189702/webrev.01/ Thanks, Jay From: Phil Race Sent: Tuesday, October 31, 2017 9:10 PM To: Brian Burkhalter; Jayathirth D V Cc: 2d-dev Subject: Re: [OpenJDK 2D-Dev] [10] RFR JDK-8189702: Broken links in javadoc for Adobe TIFF related documents wayback links are absolutely the wrong thing to use. Assuming Adobe does not repair their website breakage, then deleting those non-essential links is probably the best thing to do .. it will be less of a problem in the future. -phil.

As to the Wayback links, I think that is more of a general policy decision that I cannot make so I will leave that to others. I do not know what the constraints are regarding which external sites we should have links to.

For TIFF Page Maker & TIFF Photoshop notes the only available links are from Wayback archive and for TIFF spec we have links from ITU(https://www.itu.int/itudoc/itu-t/com16/tiff-fx/docs/tiff6.pdf ) and AlternaTIFF(http://www.alternatiff.com/resources/TIFFPM6.pdf ) among them I feel ITU one is more relevant to keep in Javadoc. If Wayback links are not proper then we can actually remove links for TIFF Page Maker and TIFF Photoshop from Javadoc. If we can use ITU link for TIFF spec we can replace it otherwise we can remove reference for TIFF spec also.
