java - Obtain and download Javadoc (JDK API documentation) to a local file for offline reading - Stack Overflow
I end up trawling SO every time I want to download the JDK 6 API documentation in the form of a zip containing the javadocs, so I'm adding this comment in the hopes that it'll make my future searches easier. Thanks! 2013-07-31T08:07:17.863Z+00:00 More on stackoverflow.com

New and Deprecated Tabs Available on Official JDK 17 javadoc
A new feature with JDK 17 is the --since flag for javadoc allowing changes between releases to be shown. The most prominent example is for the official javadoc for Java, but you can also do this in your code as well. I covered this in in the #SipOfJava released today , but wanted to share the link pointing this out in the JDK javadoc as I'm sure it will be extremely helpful for all Java developers.

  1. First, make sure they don't already offer an download in zip form or similar.

  2. Then, make sure you are actually allowed to do this (this may depend on where you live, and on any conditions mentioned on the web site from where you want to pull this).

  3. Then, have a look at the Wget tool. It is part of the GNU system, thus included in many Linux distributions, but also available for Windows and Mac, I suppose.

Something like this works for me:

wget --no-parent --recursive --level inf --page-requisites --wait=1 \
   https://epaul.github.io/jsch-documentation/simple.javadoc/

(without the line break; it should be escaped by the \ backslash here).

Look up what each option does in the manual before trying this.

If you want to do this repeatedly, look into the --mirror option. For downloading other websites, --convert-links might also be useful, but I found that is not needed for Javadocs, which usually have the correct absolute and relative links.

This downloads lots of the same copy of the index.html file with appended ?... names (for the FRAMES links on each page). You can remove these files after downloading by adding the --reject 'index.html\?*' option, but they still will be downloaded first (and checked for recursive links). I did not yet find out how to avoid downloading them at all. (See this related question on Server Fault.)

Maybe adding the right recursion level would help here (I didn't try).

After downloading, you might want to zip the resulting directory to take less disk space. Use the zip tool of your choice for this.

r/javahelp on Reddit: How to download Java API
May 26, 2018 -

Is there any way to download the Java API/javadoc which has all the classes eclipse has? Like Collections class, Math class, String class, Integer Class and everything else? I'm going to have to do some coding without any internet access and I have been trying to find a way to download it, but I have yet to get it to work.

So far I've downloaded Zeal, but the API crashed every time it was opened. I tried to download the java development kit from oracle and opened the index.html file in the folder, but all the links inside of it led to a "File not found" error.

Also I have a Windows 10 computer.

Edit: Turns out you can’t drag the extracted folder from downloads on to the desktop. For some reason when you do that it loses a lot of files.
