How to display source code without compiling it

Add the jar inisde a project library. You then have also the option of
specifying the source code of the library.

That doesn't seem to do it.
I have created a library. When I point the library to the jar file, nothing
shows up.
If I point the library to the expanded jar file, IntelliJ again tries to
compile the source, and the compiler chokes because no Struts or JBoss.

I have all my libs like this (some with sources in jars, others with sources
"on disk"), both in Ariadna and Aurora and it works.

Example Aurora libs in lib.gif

Ensure the lib sources aren't "inside" a sourcepath entry. Everything inside
sourcepath entries is compiled.

Yes, this works. The problem was that the library was under my source path.
However now, I am not able to open classes in the library using ctrl-N.

Not a major deal, but it would be convenient. Any way to do this?

1. Known bug in aurora: you have to add your output path to the excluded
list (in Proj. Properties->Main module).

2. Aurora 859 (and earlier?), has a bug in that on some unknown (to us)
circunstancies control-n, find usages, etc open the lib class file even if
the source file is available.

Hi,
I don't know which IDEA version you are using but since build 859 (or maybe
the version before), it is possible to add a .jar-file to the library and
attach the source code to that library - this should solve your problems.

Otherwise, look at using ANT for building...

I have just downloaded an open source project (Quartz) from source forge,
including a jar containing class files and a jar containing source code
among other things.

The source code will not compile on my machine, unless I download lots of
other stuff (struts, jboss, etc) which I do not want to do.

I have set up a project, and I put the class jar file in my classpath, and
everything works fine.
Except - I am not able to look into the Quartz source code or see the
Quartz javadoc.

I was hoping that if I move the source code out of my project path that
would work, but no dice.
So is there any way to have your source and not compile it?
