Description David Martin

2020-08-27 05:52:29 EDT

Related to Bug 539462: newer Java API links not only include extra elements, but have changed the format to include parameters. Parentheses "()" are used in newer versions instead of dashes "--":

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#format-java.lang.String-java.lang.Object...-

https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/String.html#format(java.lang.String,java.lang.Object...)

As a result Shift-F2 goes to the type javadoc, but not to the specified method member, eventhough the member name is still visible in the browser address field with the inappropriate dashes...
