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?

In Eclipse, go to File > Export. Expand Java and select Javadoc. Then click Next. Select your project and package.
Select the desired package, class or method name, right-click and select Show Javadoc. This will launch your default web browser and navigate to the Javadoc for the selected item.
You can disable this in the Maven configuration: Window > Preferences > Maven > Disable "Download Artifact Sources" and "Download Artifact JavaDoc". You can also run mvn install from the console, which often solves these kinds of problems and less prone to errors during downloading.
In order to create a Javadoc comment, place the cursor before a class declaration, a method, or a variable declaration. Then, add a comment. A Javadoc comment starts with a slash and two asterisks, and you can create it easily by typing those characters, slash, asterisk, asterisk, and then pressing enter or return.
