Source code for the Java library classes

Question

Where can I find the source code for the Java library classes? I mean classes in rt.jar.

Platform: Windows.

Answer 1

Sources are in src.zip located in the installation folder:

• On Windows, the JDK includes src.zip by default if I remember well.

• On a Linux distro, you may have to install the sun-java6-source package.

• On Mac, you'll have to download the Developer Documentation. Have a look at this answer.
