Re: [m2e-users] What does Maven ->Download Source do?
|
Sources should also be automatically downloaded when the class file for a maven dependency is opened.

When things work correctly, m2e downloads the attached sources from remote repository and configures Eclipse classpath so that you can browse the sources for the class. Now, for that to work the sources must be available in the repository! If you are trying to fetch sources for something in Maven Central and it's not working, go to http://search.maven.org, find the module and check if sources.jar download is available for the requested groupId / artifactId / version.
If you are trying to fetch sources for artifacts you have deployed to your corporate repository, you need to generate the sources artifact with maven-source-plugin and deploy them alongside your binary artifact.
Cheers,
Rafał

I invoke this option on a Jar listed under Maven Dependencies. Most of the time, nothing happens. No visible cues whatever that anything is occurring. Once, I did see the Downloading Source status message, for several seconds, but it gave me no message, and the source was nowhere to be found in my local repository, nor did the class for which I wanted to view the source display that source.
How would I use this option?
