How to download Javadoc to read offline? [closed]
I just know how to read Javadoc online on a website, but I want to download it for offline reading when no network is available.
I am referring to the Java® Platform, Standard Edition & Java Development Kit Version x API Specification.
How can I download the documentation?
Solution 1:
Links to JDK documentation
Java SE | Download | Web | Other |
---|---|---|---|
19 (early access) | not yet available | Javadoc | Early Access page |
18 (early access) | not yet available | Javadoc | Early Access page |
17 (LTS) | Downloads page | Javadoc | Doc home |
16 | no longer available | Javadoc | Doc home |
15 | no longer available | Javadoc | Doc home |
14 | no longer available | Javadoc | Doc home |
13 | no longer available | Javadoc | Doc home |
12 | no longer available | Javadoc | Doc home |
11 (LTS) | Downloads page | Javadoc | Doc home |
10 | no longer available | Javadoc | Doc home |
9 | no longer available | Javadoc | Doc home |
8 (LTS) | Downloads page | Javadoc |
Platform home Doc home |
7 | no longer available | Javadoc | Doc home |
6 | no longer available | Javadoc | Doc home |
By the way, a history of Java SE versions.
Solution 2:
For any javadoc (not just the ones available for download) you can use the DownThemAll addon for Firefox with a suitable renaming mask, for example:
*subdirs*/*name*.*ext*
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/downthemall/
https://www.downthemall.org/main/install-it/downthemall-3-0-7/
Edit: It's possible to use some older versions of the DownThemAll add-on with Pale Moon browser.

You can use something called Dash: Offline API Documentation
for Mac. For Windows and Linux you have an alternative called Zeal
.
Both of them are very similar. And you can get offline documentation for most of the APIs out there like Java, android, Angular, HTML5 etc .. almost everything.
I have also written a post on How to install Zeal on Ubuntu 14.04
