      Search engines usually cache jdk 7 javadoc. Developers prefer latest javadoc. The current situation forces developers to either download docs or bookmark javadoc URLs. jshell shows inline javadoc comments with "tab completion" which is super useful. But sometimes it is better to surf related doc by hyperlinks.

      A new jshell command like

      /doc <javadoc search term>

      would be very useful. Jshell can fork desktop browser with appropriate JDK version specific base URL + search term
