Optional tasks
The official JDK documentation can be accessed from any system with an Internet connection. However, it is highly recommended that you download and install the documentation locally for offline browsing. The documentation ZIP file is located at Java SE Development Kit 11 Documentation. To install, create a bootcamp directory in your user home directory (if it doesn’t already exist), with subdirectories as shown below, and then unzip the contents of the downloaded jdk-11.0.13_doc-all.zip file into the indicated directory. (Please note and follow the spelling and casing of the specified directories.)
