How to (re)attach JDK sources for Eclipse on Snow Leopard?

Question

After updating to the latest (and now deprecated, sniff...) update of Apple's JDK, Eclipse does not show the source code for JDK classes anymore. It asks me to attach the source location file or folder. Where can I find that?

Answer 1

It seems that Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 3 does not include the sources anymore. There is a separate package "Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 3 Developer Package" now. See http://lookfirst.com/2010/10/how-to-fix-missing-source-for-latest.html

Answer 2

For each update from Apple, I write a new blog post with the updated symlinks. I noticed a lot of traffic on my blog from one of the answers, so I figured I might as well update things with the latest release.

I could write a simple shell script to do this for you, but that would require you to download a file. Seems simpler to just execute a few easy commands.

This is the latest one for update 5:
