Description Peter Burka CLA 2002-04-11 17:21:23 EDT 
Build 20020321

When you open a .class file which doesn't have source associated with it, you 
get an empty editor.  If you want to see source you must:

- switch to the Packages view
- find the .class file (if you don't have the Link Packages view to current 
selection option turned on)
- find the enclosing JAR file
- change the JAR's properties to attach source to it
- open the .class file again (see Bug 13579)

It would be nice if there were a button, or a hyper-link in the (otherwise 
empty) .class file editor which would let you associate source with the JAR.  
There's nothing displayed in the editor, anyway, so why not use the real-
estate for something useful?

Comment 2 Claude Knaus CLA 2002-05-08 11:28:39 EDT 
partially fixed >= 20020509.
The attach source button is disabled until 15423 is fixed.

Comment 4 Claude Knaus CLA 2002-05-14 13:36:25 EDT 
fixed >= 20020414-N
Comment 5 Claude Knaus CLA 2002-05-14 13:38:33 EDT 
Note that it still depends on 14113. After changing the source attachment,
the editor of the class file shuts down. This won't happen when 14113 is fixed.
