Look for pydoc analog for java for reading docs from command line

Question

Pydoc can produce nice docs for Python module/function/class for reading from command line.

This tools javadoc seems does not provide such capabilities.

I use Emacs and look for ability quickly get docs about standard java library without leaving Emacs.

If such utility exist I can integrate in to Emacs...

Also I think it is nice read javadoc from Bash...

PS. For example I expect that utility extract docs from existen java installation without specifing path to it (from JAVA_HOME, or PATH without javadoc.zip only from src.zip which come with all JDK installation)...

While reading a bit about clojure -lisp on JVM-, I came accross this solution for what you need: http://cynojure.posterous.com/clojure-emacs-and-javadocs.
