How to attach sources automatically? [message #654041]

While creating a new (Liferay) project, Eclipse does create several utility nodes in the project (like "JRE System Library", "Liferay v6.0 (Tomcat 6)", "Web App Libraries", "Liferay Portlet Plug-in API").

There are a lot of jars in those nodes.

Is it possible to make Eclipse automatically attach source path to those jars?

Normally the corresponding container should do this, if the source is
available. If you e.g. download a Java SDK instead of a JRE then it will
attach the source for the JRE System Library for you.
