Is there any resource that I can download to have this whole site on my computer?

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/index.html

Is it made available in file formats available for the user?

API specifications can be redistributed internally without special permission. They cannot be made available on the Internet.

run 'wget' and pull down the entire site. Just as long as you dont chuck it on your own webserver you'll be fine.

Shame really, the old Java API used to be available. I would also be very interested in how to rip the Java J2SE 5.0 API for my own use

the command you need is:
'wget -r http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/index.html'

the tool you need is wget, it comes with pretty much all Linux/unix systems. If you dont have access to one try downloading cygwin which'll let you run a unix style environment on your windows pc. Make sure you install wget with it.

There may be a wget for windows, i have never seen one, but then i havent tried looking.

EDIT:
Just to warn you, i have a copy of the Java API's on disk and it is around 200meg if you are planning on downloading it.
