How to get the source jar file for eclipse jdk plugins?

I'm using Eclipse Juno for RCP and RAP Developers.

Following vogella.com, I could import plug-ins and fragments to trace into eclipse jdt source code. However, I couldn't get the source for the method in org.eclipse.jdt.code.

And I found that there is no jar file with source jar file for org.eclipse.jdt.core.

compared to some jar files that has source jar file.

  • How can I get the source jar file for org.eclipse.jdt.core? Can I simply download the file? Do I need to build the jar from scratch?
Solution

  • prunge's answer helped me to find out the solution to my issue.

    I first used the method in Vogella's Eclipse Source Code - Tutorial to import org.eclipse.jdt.core into the project, and then Eli Acherkan's method to install Eclipse SDK. Only after I uninstall the eclipse source code out of my project, I can trace into the method/class in eclipse source base.
