#38918 — How to let Eclipse browse src.zip instead of decompiling class files

Hi,

Anybody know how you can set up Eclipse IDE so that when I Ctrl+LClick a
Java RT class, it opens the original *.java file located in the src.zip
- instead of showing me a decomplied *.class file.

IntelliJ IDEA shows me the true .java file, but Eclipse keeps showing me
a decompiled *.class (even though I specified the src.zip in the
Installed JRE settings).

Regards,
  Graeme

Where/how did you specify it ? The correct place to specify it is under:

Window/Preferences/Java/Installed JREs, select yselect "Source Attachment",
click on "Source Attachment", External Location, External File. Should look
like this:

Thanks for the info, but that is what I already have.  So why when I
Ctrl+LClick on any JRE supplied class, does Eclipse open a *.class file
in the editor. I see source code, but the file name of the opened tab
shows <something>.class as the name.

If I do the same action in IntelliJ IDEA, it opens a *.java file and the
full path clearly shows it used the src.zip file.

  Graeme

You'll be happy to know that you already have it set up correctly then.
When going to the definition of dependencies, Eclipse just titles the
windows as ".class". What it displays is actually the source code, if it is
attached.

You can confirm this by going to pretty much any Java class and confirming
that you are, in fact, seeing comments and Javadoc, which would not be
available from decompilation.

Awesome, thanks. So it's just a Eclipse tab naming oddity. Good to know.

Yup, I see the javadoc comments. Thanks for your help.
