Java source

[bob smith]

So, I'm doing some Java Swing development, and I wanted to jump to the source of this method:

java.awt.Window.setVisible(boolean)

However, I'm on a Mac, and I'm not sure how to attach the source. Anyone know how to do this?

Thanks.

Unzip src.zip/jar and open »Window.java« in the folder »java/awt«.

Under Mac src.zip/jar might be in

/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0_22-b04-307.jdk/Contents/Home
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0_29-b11-402.jdk/Contents/Home
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_10.jdk/Contents/Home/

or so. Or try this search in a web search engine (it should
be an engine with the G [generic] search engine interface):

"package java.awt" "class Window" "shaio" -summary

I went to the Apple Developer Connection and got some Java thing for Developers.

It was about 150 MB.


Then the source is here:

/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0_37-b06-434.jdk/Contents/Home/src.jar


BTW, anyone know why I can't post images to this group?

Oh yeah.

I forgot the difference between Google Groups and Usenet.

This depends on your IDE. I use IntelliJ. I point to a word, hit
Ctrl-B and it takes me to the definition.

For it to work, you normally have to do some sort of configuring to
tell your IDE where to look for source code.

Try google "name-of-my-ide java jump to definition source"

On Eclipse, it's F3. If the source is not attached, it will ask you to
locate it.
