Phillip Webb commented on MJAVADOC-796:
---------------------------------------
A big +1 for this change because there is a subtle difference with the way that
the JDK follows links and the way that Maven does. With JDK, the links are
resolved when loading the data, but the original link is left unchanged in the
generated HTML. With Maven the link is actually changed in the HTML.
You can see one example of the problem this causes in
https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/40998
> Do not follow links for Java 12+
