Using Maven/Gradle would fetch sources and Javadoc automatically via IDEs like Eclipse, IntelliJ, etc.
If you really want to import the JARs manually, you can get Javadoc from Maven repo [1]. Indeed, you have to do it for each module, e.g. "core", "arq", etc. in your classpath [1] http://central.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/jena/jena-core/3.8.0/ > The download page says the distribution includes the API, but I cannot > find a javadoc folder in the jars.
