Unbundling the Java 2 SDK documentation creates a docs directory (folder) in the current directory, putting all the documentation inside that directory as shown here.

3. Unbundle your documentation

Unbundle the documentation using the a zip-compatible utility such as winzip, unzip, gunzip, or pkunzip. Your utility must support long file names.

• To install the documentation bundle using the zip utility:
  

  C:> unzip j2sdk-1_3_1-doc.zip

  You can also install the .zip file using the Java 2 SDK's jar utility:
  

  C:> jar xvf j2sdk-1_3_1-doc.zip
  

  Note: If you are using another tool that doesn't preserve path names by default, be sure to specify that path names be preserved. For example, if you are using pkunzip, specify -d:

  C:> pkunzip -d j2sdk-1_3_1-doc.zip
  

Unzipping the documentation bundle creates a docs/ directory containing your Java 2 Platform documentation.

4. View the documentation
