This section describes how to install JDK Documentation on your own machine.

To learn JDK more effectively, you definitely need to have a copy of the JDK Documentation installed on your own machine. JDK Documentation provides you detailed information of all classes and methods used in JDK. Here is what I did to download and install JDK 17 Documentation on my local machine.

Open the Java download home page with this URL: https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/.
Click the "Documentation Download" button near the bottom of the page. You will see "Java SE Development Kit 17 Documentation" page showing up.
Click the hyper link of "jdk-17.0.1_doc-all.zip".
Save the download file "jdk-17.0.1_doc-all.zip" to a temporary directory.
Double-click on "jdk-17.0.1_doc-all.zip" to extract all files to "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-17.0.1 directory.

To verify the installation, open the "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-17.0.1\docs\index.html" with a Web browser. You should see the JDK 17 Documentation starting page.

Click the "java.logging" module on the JDK 17 Documentation page to see the API documentation of the java.logging module.
