It will be nice to have the struts library source code for look up and debugging

[snpe]

http://jakarta.apache.org/struts

struts is open source and You can download source or binary

s_baramov,
we are hesitant to ship the source/javadoc because it would increate the MyEclipse download by quite a bit.

I would agree that it would be nice to have the libraries pre configured with javadoc and source references.

If concerned about download size, perhaps a seperate optional download that would go back and update the libraries to reference appropriate source and javadoc.

Hey if there is demand, we’ll do just about anything for you guys 😉

I’ll send the request on up the chain and see what Scott/Michael have to say.

Benefits of shpping the source code:
– Consistance. If I have the source code for the JDK, why do I have the Struts source code?
– Easy to use. Everyone knows that Struts is open source, but may be (just may be) not everyone knows the best way to associated source files with a jar file in Eclipse project.
– Convenience. If I have 20 web projects I do not have to set up the source code and the javadoc for each one of them.

I believe that what IDE stands for.

And by the way, the source code for struts is about 1 MB zipped.

Stefan, you make good points, let me see what we can do.

I’ve added an enhancement request to ship the struts source. Thanks for the suggestion.
