Foolish attempt - Trying to compile Java’s src.zip

Posted by Keith under Java

It helps to add that as a rt.jar’s source in IDE to debug/trace, but src.zip itself won’t compile.  Many classes’ sources aren’t available in that zip file.  I was able to get some source codes using JAD decompiler, however.

I’ve downloaded entire source code of Java from java.net which is now community open source — it has JVM, JDK source codes and Java source code for class files as well.  I haven’t had a time to look at it yet, but it must be interesting to look at.
