Source code for java.lang.Object

Question

Is there any web site that I could see the source code for the Java standard library? Most so the two classes java.lang.* and java.net.* ??

Answer 1

Please install Java JDK (Java Developer Kit), which is not the same as Java JRE (Java Runtime Environment).

The Java JDK contains the Java source code.

And you'd better to use an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) such as Eclipse or NetBeans to develop Java programs.

You can look for the java code via the IDE tool.

Answer 2

Of course. You could find it in the JDK, but also online. I also use the online version, because I find it faster as to open the folder with the JDK, brows through all the files and so on. Just google "java source object".

Answer 3

You need the JDK (JAVA SDK) installed and source of class library is at (on Windows):

C:\<Program Files>\Java\<JDK>\src.zip

Like

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0\src.zip

Answer 4

Java source code is available in JDK distribution. If you have installed JDK on your machine, in JDK directory you'll find src.zip . For example, in my windows machine source code is available at: C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk1.6.0_12 .

Alternatively, you can find Java source code online at: Java Source Code
