accessing source code for JRE System library
I am working on project using Java jdk1.5.0_14 but am having trouble accessing its source from within Eclipse 3.3.1.
I used ctags to create a tags file for vi using jdk1.5.0_14/src.
This works well. From within vi I can find the source for methods in Java jdk1.5.0_14
very nicely using the tags commands of vi.
But I am learning Eclipse and want to have the same capability of finding the source
for methods/classes/etc. of Java jdk1.5.0_14 from within Eclipse.
Now I have the JRE System Library (jdk1.5.0_14) loaded into Eclipse and it contains
jar files rt.jar, jsse.jar, jce.jar, charsets.jar, sunjce_provider.jar, localedata.jar, sunpkcs11.jar,
and dnsns.jar. For each of these jar files Eclipse allows me to make a Java Source Attachment
(either a directory, a JAR file, or a zip file). However the source for jdk1.5.0_14 (in subdirectory src)
is structured completely differently from what these jar files suggest (ie. a source directory in src
corresponding to each jar file). For example the subdirectories of src are com, java, javax, launcher, org, and sunw.
src also contains file src.zip.
Is there a way to fix this so that I can look at the jdk1.5.0 source code from within Eclipse?
For example is there a set of source files corresponding to the jar files?
Solutions much appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any help or insight provided.
