    Any idea where to download the src.zip file containing javax.servlet.* sources? The src.zip which came with my JDK does contain only parts of the javax.* packages sources.

    Thanks in advance.

    Ralf,

    I think this would be a good place to start: http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/download.html

    Scott, thanks for replying.
    Unfortunately that page as far as I can see only holds references to .class files or the JavaDoc. What is required by Eclipse is the source files (.java) as in src.zip with J2SE.

    Any idea where to get those for javax.servlet and the other missing sources?

    Ah, you’re right. I verified it this time and the sources are in the Java Servlet Development Kit that’s available here: http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/archive.html#ServletApi2.1.1

    You realize, of course, that you can only get this level of support (ie. not related to our product) at MyEclipse, right? 🙂

    Scott,

    You are absolutely right. What MyEclipse delivers for only about 30 € per year is marvelous. If it would only be the product, it would be already great. But the level of support is extraordinary and better than with most big commercial players. If you want a testimonial from a > 2000 employees company – let me know. 🙂

    By the way, maybe I found a bug in MyEclipse.
    I donwloaded the file you pointed me to. I tried to install it via

    Project Properties > Libraries – J2EE 1.3 Library Container > Source attachment: (None)

    It appears as if MyEclipse forgets about the settings. A select “Edit” and point to “External file”. Once I hit OK and reopen the dialog: The settings are gone.

    Any idea?

    All testimonials are GLADLY accepted. Trust me, send us something with your name, title, and company to [email protected] and you’ll see it on the website very soon. 🙂

    Yep. I tried attaching the source to one of the internal jars in the library set and it is quickly forgotten. I think this is because we sort of added the whole configurable library set idea to MyEclipse and this must be something that didn’t quite get flushed out properly. I’ve posted it as a bug into our internal tracking system so we can fix it in a subsequent service release. I’m really sorry for the inconvenience. It’s amazing no one has found this one before, but I suppose you’re the first one that wanted to trace the servlet code in the debugger. 🙂

    I’ll send you our testimonial tomorrow morning. (It’s eve where I am based.)

    As to the Servlet debugging… hmm… maybe I am the first… 🙂 Anyway, the good thing is, that I know once you add it to your bug tracking system, it’ll get solved very quickly.

    I guess we can close this thread then.

    Thank you very much!

    Thanks for the vote of confidence. It won’t make it into 2.7/3.7 since those builds are frozen, but it will certainly make the next service release.

    I did, sort of. I closed it as ‘Bug’. Sadly, that too is a valid end state for a few of these threads.
