How can I specify Java 1.6 sourcepath in IDEA 7.0.4 on Mac

I downloaded the Java 1.6 source (src.jar) from the Apple Developer Connection and installed it in /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Home. I went to add it to my IntelliJ sourcepath so I could refer to the Java source, but when I use the "Add..." button and navigate to the /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Home/src.jar/src directory and try to select it, I get the following error message: "Specified path cannot be found." If I select src.jar itself, that error does not appear, but command-clicking java classes brings me to compiled classes, and not the Java source. How do I specify the sourcepath for Java 1.6 on a Mac?

Check out the attached screenshot to see what I'm trying to do.

Thanks!

Unpacking the jar and pointing to the src folder solved the problem. For whatever reason, IntelliJ could no longer look inside the jar file.

The command I ran:

sudo jar xf src.jar
