how to import source code into Eclipse from a jar file?
eclipse, jar, java
Solution
Create a directory named "helloworld" and unpack the JAR into that directory:
mkdir helloworld
cd helloworld
jar xvf ../helloworld.jar
You can then create a project from existing sources and start operating on that. I don't think Eclipse will let you create a project and change files directly in the JAR.
Problem
I got a `jar` file that is packaged with `source code` in it. I want to load it as a top-level project and start working on the source code. How can I do that in Eclipse? For example: if I have helloworld.jar, when I import this jar. I want to have the project name as helloworld, with all the packages and src inside it. I do not want that code on build path.but on my IDE to work with.
