Description
API documentation generated by the JavaDoc Standard Doclet will now automatically link to the appropriate set of platform classes, based on the value of the `--source` or `--release` option.

The behavior can be disabled by using the new `--no-platform-links` option.

The URLs for the different versions of the platform documentation can be configured by the new `--link-platform-properties` option.
