It's relatively simple. The following approach worked for me.

In MyCrawler.java:

import org.jsoup.Jsoup;
import org.jsoup.nodes.Document;
...
public void visit(Page page) {
...
if (page.getParseData() instanceof HtmlParseData) {
                    HtmlParseData htmlParseData = (HtmlParseData) page.getParseData();
                    String html = htmlParseData.getHtml();
                    Document doc = Jsoup.parseBodyFragment(html);
...
