Issue with books
This template should be improved to better support books/PDFs. For example, if you try to create a PDF file from book Books/Data structures, then article on Stack (data structure) with the following fragment:

...Java's library contains a class that is a specialization of. This could be considered a design flaw because the inherited get method from ignores the LIFO constraint of the.

will be almost unreadable in PDF: Java's library contains a Stack (http:/ / java. sun. com/ javase/ 6/ docs/ api/ java/ util/ Stack. html) class that is a specialization of Vector (http:/ / java. sun. com/ javase/ 6/ docs/ api/ java/ util/ Vector. html). This could be considered a design flaw because the inherited get method from Vector (http:/ / java. sun. com/ javase/ 6/ docs/ api/ java/ util/ Vector. html) ignores the LIFO constraint of the Stack (http:/ / java. sun. com/ javase/ 6/ docs/ api/ java/ util/ Stack. html).

To fix this, the Web link should be hidden when in print, see "Hide in print" template in Help:Books/for experts. Andreas Kaufmann (talk) 21:23, 21 March 2009 (UTC)


 * More easily, you can create the print version of this template at Template:Javadoc:SE/Print. Headbomb {{{sup|ταλκ}}κοντριβς – WP Physics} 15:18, 15 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Alright, created. Everything should look good. Let me know if there are any problems. Headbomb {{{sup|ταλκ}}κοντριβς – WP Physics} 04:55, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Fixed link from Sun to Oracle site
Turned out that the Template:Javadoc:SE used the Template:Javadoc:SE/Home URL constant, which in turn pointed to sun's homepage, which luckily redirected to Oracle. I just changed it, and now it directly points toward oracle site. Hervegirod (talk) 18:18, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Need help in converting this template to Java 8
Java 8 was just released. I did a quick fix to point to the Java 8 documentation, but I found out that Oracle's HTML anchors now have the parenthesis characters '(' and ')' replaced with dashes like '-'. Could someone rewrite the template to accommodate this change? I reverted back to the Java 7 documentation to avoid this damage until someone can rewrite this code to substitute parenthesis with dashes. Jesse Viviano (talk) 01:51, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
 * , could you please give an example of a page where this happens? I've went through quite a few transclusions and can't find one where this error happens. APerson (talk!) 02:43, 29 July 2015 (UTC)
 * The home url, template, and documentation are now updated to Java 10 and any links following the examples provided in the documentation will work correctly. However, any links which include the s required in previous doc versions (or any links which used the  s from Java 8 and 9) will not link correctly. There are only 114 pages (at the time of this writing) using this template, so maybe it's better to update any usages rather than try to munge the member strings?

Updating to Java 15/16
The current javadoc is on Java 10. Java is on version 15, with 16 coming out next month. Since Java 11, however, the javadoc includes the module name in the URL. For example, compare https://docs.oracle.com/javase/10/docs/api/java/lang/ref/PhantomReference.html and https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/ref/PhantomReference.html. So it may be necessary to do some work to convert the javadoc links to include module names. A248 (talk) 19:17, 6 February 2021 (UTC)


 * I've just updated the thing to point to Java 19's documentation, and I think I've managed to sort out that problem as well. 🔥 HOTm̵̟͆e̷̜̓s̵̼̊s̸̜̃ 🔥  (talk・edits) 00:43, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I've also gone through the pages which use this template, and I think I've fixed all of the usages of this template on actual articles that broke as a result of this change. 🔥 HOTm̵̟͆e̷̜̓s̵̼̊s̸̜̃ 🔥  (talk・edits) 02:50, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
