You can download the "Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 2 Developer
Documentation" package from http://connect.apple.com, under the
"Downloads" section. It installs compressed jars of JavaDocs and the
Java source into each Java version directory:

/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/
	1.4.2/Home/appledocs.jar
	1.4.2/Home/docs.jar
	1.4.2/Home/src.jar
	1.5.0/Home/appledocs.jar
	1.5.0/Home/docs.jar
	1.5.0/Home/src.jar
	1.6.0/Home/appledocs.jar
	1.6.0/Home/docs.jar
	1.6.0/Home/src.jar

Most IDE's know how to automagically find these, and will hookup nice
little things like JavaDoc in tooltips.

Hope this helps,

Sure does. I already installed Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 2 Developer with
the documentation and was expecting to find HTML docs, since there are a few Apple
pages that say it comes in that form, I guess that is old.

We used to decompress them on Tiger, but we don't do that on Leopard (we were getting a number of bugs saying "Installing the developer documentation takes over 30 min! It must be broken!"). Since most IDEs understand how to read the compressed form, and this is how the docs and src are distributed on other platforms, it didn't seem as important to decompress them anymore.

Could you file bugs at http://bugreporter.apple.com with any links to any documentation you find that is not accurate on Leopard. We are currently in the process of evaluating our docs and we would like to clean up any inaccuracies so we don't accidently lead people down a wrong path.
