JDK 6 Source

I need the source code for the Java 6 classes that make up the API.

It isn't easy to find a download of the source, that's why I ask.

Where is it? Please tell me!

The jdk comes with a src.zip which contains the source files for the core API.

It sure ain't the

Java SE 6 JDK Source Code

that's on offer on that page!

Yes, it must be have come with the JDK as a src.zip

I must have accidentally thrown it away before, thinking it was the zipped JDK install, heck!

Could have fooled me with the heading "Java SE 6 JDK Source Code" and the download button next to it.

Yes, exactly this title fooled me too.

I downloaded it, and it doesn't have the source, but more advanced material.

That's why I came asking.

Now I'm donwnloading the JDK again, see if I can get the src.zip there

:o|

It contains the entire source for the JDK 6. Not just the standard libraries.

That would be your best bet if you only want to get src.zip.

Your original question was for the JDK 6 source, the answers given more than satisfy that.

NO that 100+Mb Source doesn't contain the standard libraries!

Then what exactly are you looking for?

Problem dealt with, the src.zip with the standard Java 6 .java source codes has landed whilst downloading the JDK!

Well I just downloaded and installed it.

It does in fact contain the entire source for the JDK6 update 2, including the standard libraries.

You did try installing it right?

After installing the standard libraries can be found at j2se/src/share/classes

And you're **** right about that!

I couldn't find it, because my Vista Search couldn't find URLConnection class, so I presumed it wasn't there, must have typed it wrong, shame on me!

NovaLokaa at 2007-7-29 17:24:40 >

No Vista Search still cannot find any .java class, heck!

Maybe that's by design :)

After all it is Micro$oft.

Yes, they carefully avoid the word Java, and even prefer to talk about JScript, when everybody uses JavaScript.

Can you tell me "dwg" if this forum is any good?

I was here a long time ago, and my programming skills have grown (a bit).

Or are their better help forums for Java?

if you get past the barrage of idiot questions like this one, and the even greater barrage of homework questions (that's the typical "gif mi zu koduz" type questions), it's quite good.

Sadly those are the vast majority of questions, but in that this forum is no different from most or all others (indeed, most of those questions are repeated word for word in a variety of forums, clearly copy/paste actions).

I would say this is one of the best.

If not for any other reason than there are a lot of very talented people around here offering very good advice.

When asking questions it's important to ask them in a smart way:
