Sometimes you may want to debug into external jar files. You may have acquired the sources for the jar file separately from the binary jar. In such cases you can use the following process to indicate the sources to eclipse so that at debugging time you can step into the source files.

Look for the jar that you have source for in the "Referenced Libraries" underneath your project in the project explorer. Expand "Referenced Libraries" by opening the plus sign.

Click on the jar file and right click for properties. You will see an option called "Java Source Attachment". Specify the path or the jar file of the source here.

These steps may vary depending on the eclipse release. However bottomline is that you can attach source to an existing jar.

Occasionally though, the source options for a jar are turned off, as the jar file is indicated as an immutable system library. In such cases you may want to drop or remove the jar file and that library and explicitly add it as a user library as if you are attaching that jar yourself and then proceed to attach source code to it.
