Hi

I am MyEclipse newbie, so apologies in advance.

I want to be able to reference the source code that is used by some of my project libraries (.jar files). For example, my proj uses Struts 1.3.8 – I want be able to step into the Struts source code when I stop at a breakpoint.

I tried properties->java build path->source->link source.
This does enable me to see the Struts source code, but the project compiles the code when building, which I do not want.

How can I just reference the library source without having to build it?

TIA – Adam

Adam,
The way you want to link source to your JARs is by either right-clicking on the JAR in the package explorer and going to it’s properties dialog and setting it there, or by going to your project properties > Java Build Path > Libraries tab, and expand your JAR and attach source to it there.
