Using javadoc for a package, have a class extending from 
java.io.PrintWriter and overloading one of its methods (e.g. close()).

Run javadoc on the package without including the JDK packages. The resulting
HTML document will have text indicating that the close() method
overrides the close() method on class java.io.PrintWriter and will
have a broken hyper link to java.io.PrintWriter#close().

The link is broken because the JDK documentation was not produced as part of the 
generated documentation. JDK 1.1 indicates that such outside links
should not be generated by javadoc.

======================================================================
attached is the source file where the problem appears. We are running
Javadoc as follows:

    mkdir -p jdoc  customer /oas/jco
    cp Logger.java  customer /oas/jco
    javadoc -public -d jdoc  customer .oas.jco

The result is the attached html file which contains a link to
java.io.PrintWriter.html#close(). That link should not be there.

Please let me know the correct bug tracking ID because the one recieved
from the auto-response does not seem to work. I need to put the correct
reference in our own bug tracking system.

Thanks in advance,

the generated html file.  If you can't access these files, email me.

is now mute. Will not fix.
