Today, I will show you how to download an offline copy of the SPMF documentation.
In the upcoming version 2.60 of SPMF, you can run this algorithm to open the windows of developpers tools:
Then you can click here to open the tool to download an offline copy of the SPMF documentation:
This will open a window to start the download:
Then, you will have a local copy of the SPMF documentation on your computer and the main page is documentation.html:
If you want to download a copy of the SPMF documentation directly using Java code. Here is how it is done:
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.net.HttpURLConnection;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URI;
import java.net.URISyntaxException;
import java.net.URL;
import java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets;
import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.nio.file.Paths;
import java.nio.file.StandardCopyOption;
import java.util.HashSet;
import java.util.Set;
import java.util.regex.Matcher;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;
