Let's say I have some javadoc available online. Is it possible to download it as a .jar or .zip so I could attach it to library and use in my IDE (NetBeans)?

Edit:

I am not looking for a way of attaching Java documentation. I am after third party library docs which cannot be downloaded, but are available online.

  • Ideal would be if you could get the source code with the JavaDoc in it. Then just attach source and you're done. – MightyPork Dec 23 '13 at 13:16

  • If you are using NetBeans then use Maven - this will do this automatically. If you are using Ant you need to use the Ant library management system and add the javadocs in manually. – Boris the Spider Dec 23 '13 at 13:18

  • Can you be more specific? If there's source, you can always download it and build the javadocs yourself. – Elliott Frisch Dec 23 '13 at 13:50
  • @ElliottFrisch source is not available, that's why I ask. I want to do this just for convenience, so instead of looking everything up on the website I could have it instantly in IDE. – alex Dec 23 '13 at 13:59
  • Check if the vendor offers a download bundle of their javadocs; I can't be more specific without looking at the vendor myself. – Elliott Frisch Dec 23 '13 at 14:18
  • IDEs I know (Netbeans, Eclipse) also allow you to bind the library to a javadoc URL, so you can just get direct access to the online version in your IDE. As a last resort when no download can really be found. – Gimby Dec 23 '13 at 15:01
