Java 7 API documentation download

I spent considerable amount of time looking to find where to download the API documentation for Java 7 for offline view. Must say oracle website was not usable for finding the link.

At last i was able to find it at

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/documentation/java-se-7-doc-download-435117.html

I searched Google with keyword

“Java SE Development Kit 7 Documentation” zip

  11. I also thank you.

    Since API docs were never difficult to find before, when Sun had Java, one thinks that one of the following might be true:
    1. The location is intentionally being obfuscated
    2. User (even developer) documentation is not an Oracle skill
    3. API documentation for Java is a low priority.

  14. I must tell every one that this documentation can be created manually by using the javadoc command in bin..

    i.e. type javadoc java.lang.* in command prompt to get the documentation of lang package (make sure you are at the same path in the command prompt of which u want the documentation)

    eg c:\program files\java\jdk1.7\bin\src\lang>javadoc java.lang.*
