based on the internal names (class files) or on Java reflection types.

    <artifactId>javadoclink</artifactId>
    <version>1.8.0</version>
</dependency>

The only public interface of the library is io.javaalmanac.javadoclink.JavaDocLink. It is used to get instances, the base URL and retrieve links for different Java language elements. This For example this snippet creates a link to the java.lang.String class:

JavaDocLink.forVersion("11")
           .withBaseUrl("https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/")
           .classLink(String.class);

Or using internal vm names:

JavaDocLink.forVersion("11")
           .withBaseUrl("https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/")
           .classLink("java.base", "java/lang/String");
