I would prefer unpacking the .jar file so I can browse the source code at ${JAVA_HOME}/src, *and* so I can refer to the source directory when generating Javadoc API docs (-sourcepath option). At the moment I need to unpack the sources manually, which is fairly cumbersome for someone that reinstalls JDK's every now and then. The only disadvantage I can think of is (a little) disk space. What are your thoughts about this? Should JDK installs unpack the sources by default ? -- Ernst To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
