  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.

where can I download java platform se binary?
You don't need to install Java to install Optifine, just use the Java binary included with Minecraft itself. For example, on Windows: Open cmd (Command Prompt) Run "C:\Program Files (x86)\Minecraft\runtime\jre-x64\bin\java.exe" -jar "C:\hange\This\To\The\Path\To\Your\Optifine.jar" EDIT: The path to java.exe has changed since I wrote this comment years ago. See instructions below for how to find java.exe, then run "the\path\you\found\java.exe" -jar "the\path\to\your\Optifine.jar" (for example: "C:\Users\Gamer\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.4297127D64EC6_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Local\runtime\java-runtime-gamma\windows-x64\java-runtime-gamma\bin\java.exe" -jar "C:\Users\Gamer\Downloads\OptiFine_1.21.3_HD_U_J2.jar") For the newer launcher (from Microsoft Store), see this comment . For the older launcher, search for java.exe under C:\Program Files (x86)\Minecraft\runtime\. ... Profit! More on reddit.com

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.
