Attach the Java Source Code

Question

I cannot for the life of me attach the java source code to eclipse so I can see the inner workings of the language. Not even something as simple as the String Class.

Answer 1

Normally, if you have installed the JDK6u14, eclipse should detect it and declare it automatically in its "installed JRE" list.

If not, you can add that JDK through "Windows/Preferences": Java > Installed JREs:

Just point to the root directory of your JDK installation: it should include the sources of the JDK (src.zip), automatically detected and attached to rt.jar by eclipse.
