Hey there. I have tried to import eclipse's source code following this tutorial (See step 2) but all I get are binary jar files that are useless to me as I can't view the source. I'm using helios and am looking to get a hold of the source code. I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction?
Thanks

Hi John,

Two ways of getting the source code are there

(a) If you have the source build for a particular project, then you can open the source.Try downloading the Eclipse classic version which comes with the source jars.
(b) Use SCM clients to fetch the code from CVS ,SVN or GIT.

cheers,
