I want to debug sun.security.rsa.RSAKeyFactory source code with eclipse, but how ?

ProviderConfig: Loading provider: sun.security.rsa.SunRsaSign
Provider: Set SunRsaSign provider property     [KeyFactory.RSA/sun.security.rsa.RSAKeyFactory]
Provider: Set SunRsaSign provider property     [KeyPairGenerator.RSA/sun.security.rsa.RSAKeyPairGenerator]
Provider: Set SunRsaSign provider property     [Signature.MD2withRSA/sun.security.rsa.RSASignature$MD2withRSA]
Provider: Set SunRsaSign provider property     [Signature.MD5withRSA/sun.security.rsa.RSASignature$MD5withRSA]
Provider: Set SunRsaSign provider property     [Signature.SHA1withRSA/sun.security.rsa.RSASignature$SHA1withRSA]
Provider: Set SunRsaSign provider property     [Signature.SHA256withRSA/sun.security.rsa.RSASignature$SHA256withRSA]
Provider: Set SunRsaSign provider property     [Signature.SHA384withRSA/sun.security.rsa.RSASignature$SHA384withRSA]
Provider: Set SunRsaSign provider property     [Signature.SHA512withRSA/sun.security.rsa.RSASignature$SHA512withRSA]
Provider: Set SunRsaSign provider property     [Signature.MD2withRSA SupportedKeyClasses/java.security.interfaces.]

Answer 1

Not all sources with jdk

Some people say that sources should be included with jdk's src.zip file.

This is what I got in C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk1.8.0_25\\src.zip\\com\\sun\\security

auth
jgss

So there is no provider directory nor rsa etc.

Solution

You can see the file source here .

To get it working in Eclipse using F3, download the zipped source . Rename it to

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25\src.zip

Linux's jdk src.zip is also incomplete .

Eclipse settings

• If you cannot find the declaration with F3 in Eclipse try this
• Also if you want to open implementation declaration try this
