Description tomzi 2007-09-25 19:20:06 UTC 
This feature would be REALLY great. Currently I can not see how I can open the java source of a .jar library, if one
exists. Today I wanted to add a breakpoint for a java class within a .jar library but could not figure out how to do
this. The complecated way I found was to Create a breakpoint by hand in the breakpointview. It would be a lot easier to
be able to just open the source file in .jar file dependency, find the place and add a breakpoint in the editor.

actually we should at least mirror what the j2se project does with libraries.

1. it contains package view children nodes rather than folder view.
2. it has Show javadoc action on classes and folders.

3. Show source action should probably be added to popup menu and shall be the default action as well.

integrated.
