Create the class See.java

public class See {
  /**
   * Method m references {@link java.lang.Byte#valueOf(String)}
   * and {@link java.lang.Byte#valueOf(java.lang.String)}
   * @see java.lang.Byte#valueOf(String)
   * @see java.lang.Byte#valueOf(java.lang.String)
   */
  public void m() { }
}

compile it and javadoc it:

   javadoc -link http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/docs/api See.java

javadoc fails to resolve the @link or the @see
for the public static valueOf(String) method in java.lang.Byte :

Omitting -link , or copying the package-list to a
subdirectory named "jdk" and running

   javadoc -link jdk See.java

does not resolve the problem.
