J2SE or JDK API docs for a Mac OSX 10.5 platform?

[David Daneshforooz]

I am trying to learn Java from "Head first Java". I am looking for the API docs the book calls J2SE API. I went to Oracle and I cannot find anything that is supported by the Mac. Can someone please help me with this.

Java 5 is the same on all platforms, so there's no special docs for the Mac. In fact, they should be installed on your machine already; point your browser at

file:///System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Home/doc/api/index.html

and

file:///System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Home/docs/api/index.html

for Java 5 and 6 docs, respectively.

Thank you. I found a thread which went over the entire process on a mac.
