Usually, when I drill into external java libraries or frameworks, the java source-code is publicly distributed via *source.jar files published next to the libraries, typically in a maven-repo. The Java-IDE usually has a auto-resolution feature to lazily download the sources in case you want to look into them, or if you want to debug its behavior.
With Akka, java sources seem to be unresolveable: The IDE only offers a decompiled version:
Note: For me, the public availability of a sources-jar totally replaces all needs for the availablility of a javadoc-jar, which I haven’t used in years.
- Is this intentional?
- Is this due to the fact that - at first glimpse - there seems to be a cross-compilation from scala-sources, i.e. there is no persistend java-code.?
- Is there any repository with java-source.jar files, i don’t know of?
- Is there any javadoc-jar as fallback?
Regards and thanks in advance
