What is the best way to attach javadoc to my SpringBoot application in STS?

Using Spring Boot in my application:

<parent>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
    <version>1.5.2.RELEASE</version>
    <relativePath/> <!-- lookup parent from repository -->
</parent>

It appears that javadoc is not bundled with these libraries (this maven was auto-generated by Spring Tool Suite upon creating a Spring Boot project) and I tried it adding it manually. This creates a couple of issues:

1) There are a lot of Spring libraries in the typical project: spring-boot-starter-aop, spring-boot-1.5.2.RELEASE, etc, and adding the javadoc location 1-by-1 would be tedious.

2) Even when I try adding the java at https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/api/ I find that I get an error parsing this URL: "unknown javadoc format for SpringApplication..."

Is there an easier way to get Spring Javadoc in my STS environment?

If you are using Maven you can download the associated javadoc from the corresponding contextual menu entry, right clic on the project tree and then go to : Maven -> Download JavaDoc

Dropdown menu

If you want Maven to download the associated javadoc by default you can select the corresponding option from the STS preferences dialog under Maven -> Download Artifact JavaDoc
