add java source to ADT eclipse

Question

I am using the eclipse bundle for android on my mac. I am writing some code that extends Observable

extends Observable

When I F3 on Observable the source was not found. I try finding the source in

/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home

But I am not finding the source. Does anyone know how I can attach the source of core java to ADT eclipse?

Answer 1

maybe you should install the JDK instead of JRE, you can find a code directly here

http://developer.classpath.org/doc/java/util/Observable-source.html

link to download JDK : http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

after installation look for src.zip file in your insall directory

Answer 2

Since there is no src.zip in /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home I give that up and decide to use the source for java 7, which is at /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_25.jdk/Contents/Home . Note that /Library in the second instance is not short for /System/Library ; they are two different paths.
