Netbeans Debugger - Stepping in Java API ?

[Steve Webb]

Hi,

I'm using Netbeans and have a problems in some GUI code. I'm trying to
track the problem down but need to step into some of the javax code to
figure it out. When the netbeans debugger reaches any of the API code
it pops up a dialog telling me it doesn't know where the source is.
I've tried mounting the directory where the source is, adding the
src.zip to the class and load path and all sorts of other stuff but to
no avail

Anybody any idea's ?

You need to mount the src.zip file itself (mount => archive or something
like that).

Thanks Christophe that worked a treat

I don't know specifically how to do this in Netbeans but
what the debugger needs is for the sourcepath to include
the src directory.
I suppose that baring other solutions you could just add all the source
files into your project.
