javadoc links were all broken by move to modules

 * JGraphT version: 1.5.0

For example, in 1.4.0, the Javadoc for the Graphs utility class was at:

https://jgrapht.org/javadoc-1.4.0/org/jgrapht/Graphs.html

Now it’s at:

https://jgrapht.org/javadoc-1.5.0/org.jgrapht.core/org/jgrapht/Graphs.html

Why does this suck? Because we have lots of version-independent links in our docs to things like:

https://jgrapht.org/javadoc/org/jgrapht/Graphs.html

So these all broke in the latest release.

If there’s a way to omit the module from the generated URL’s, or generate redirects, that would be nice, since there are probably lots of incoming links scattered across the web as well.

I wrote the little script, yet another piece of bash that will surely come back to haunt me in a couple of years or sooner. But for now, all is well.

Well, the problem isn’t our versioning (we already deal with that as part of our release process). The problem is the reorganization of the javadoc file tree due to the changes they made when modules were introduced.

Any chance we can include a ‘latest’ symlink (directory) and run jekyll with JEKYLL_ENV=production? Just a random suggestion, I am pretty sure it was the first thing you considered.
