can't debug into source attachment [message #335471]

I want to use the debugger to step into the source attachment of a .jar
which is on my Java Build Path. I can view the code with F3 (jump to
declaration) but can't step into it in the debugger. When I try to step
into that method I get "Source not found" and a button to "Edit Source
Lookup Path". I clicked the button and added xyz.src.jar as an Archive,
but to no avail.

I've seen a lot of other posts on this topic but none have helped me so
far. Hope someone knows how to do this!

Make sure that the classes in the jar file have been compiled with debug
enabled.

Thank you very much! I cleaned away the old class files on disk and in my
ant build script for the .jar I added debug="on" to the <javac> target.
Now I can debug it.
