I’m creating a program that is leveraging an open source project on sourceforge.org. I’m able to use the main .jar file for the project to utilize the binaries with no problem. However, when I’m debugging I cannot see any of the source files for the project, and I constantly get the error “Source Not Found.” (Apparently the .jar file that has the binaries I need doe not also include the source files.)

By clicking on the “Change Attached Source” button I’ve tried to point directly to the .java file. This does not work because the required file-type by myEclipse is either .zip or .jar files. I tried putting all the source/class files from the project into a zipped folder and then pointed to the .zip file using the “Change Attached Source” button. This does not work. Even though both the java and class files are in the zipped directory MyEclipse will not see the files when they are needed to do debugging.

Is there anything unique or special in creating a .zip source/class file that needs to be done to get this functionality to work?

Thanks,

Don

Don,
There is nothing special about this process. Try going to your project properties under Java Build Path and then the Libraries tab. From there select the JAR in your build path and attach Source to it there, that should do the trick.
