Running into JDK files from Eclipse IDE


I develop software on Eclipse Mars IDE, under MS Windows 10 OS, based on Java v7. And now I've got some configuration problems related to the IDE. What I want, is that to run into JDK source code from the IDE once I click on the 'step into' (or in other way). I've included the 'src.zip' on the path in the way provided by the IDE. Yet, when I attempt to run into the source code, the IDE says the 'source code not found'. I want this feature in order to be able to debug some things related to my current app.

Regards


Solution

  • You need to set this through the Java->Installed JRE's found in Eclipse -> Window ->Preferences. See screen shot below.
