Description Markus Keller CLA 2013-05-30 09:13:48 EDT 
Dani's link checker found that our generated Javadoc contains links to Java 7 APIs that point to a 404.

Example: class org.eclipse.ui.console.IOConsoleOutputStream implements AutoCloseable (via supertype chain).

The problem is that the Javadoc is generated using the Javadoc tool from Java 7 (which uses a bootclasspath from Java 7), but our
-link http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api
points to Java 6 API doc.

Fixed with http://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.common.git/commit/?id=ce99adb25aa7dd70c6cad393e259fd03dae6a519

I've also updated outdated links to OSGi Javadoc in JDT and PDE docs. Platform docs already contained the update.
