Getting source code for existing JARs
Hello,
I wanted to know if maven can be used to fetch source code for existing jars on a system?
Can I simply point maven to a jar on my system and expect it to do its best to fetch the source code for the correct version according to my jar from its global repository?
Can I do this via an eclipse plugin?
Thanks!

AW: Getting source code for existing JARs

Well, I don't know if you're using m2eclipse, but with that it's possible. Just open the Maven Dependencies, right-click on some jar and choose "Maven... download sources".
Best regards,
Eric

Hi,
Not the magically way I think you're asking for, no. Not to my knowledge anyhow.
What you could do, is to try to find out what artifact you have an
then, if you're lucky, the source code might exist in a repository
(central for instance). One way to find out what artifact you have is
to use its checksum and then use a Nexus instance to try to find a
match. You can find some info about this in one of Jason van Zyl's
blog posts:

If I didn't misunderstand the situation, the poster has a runtime
system with a bunch of jars. Thus, no poms.

If you have your dependencies declared correctly in a pom you can use
mvn eclipse:eclipse -DdownloadSources=true -DdownloadJavadocs=true
to download both the source jar and the javadoc jar (you may need the
javadoc if the source does not exist)
If you happen to also be using eclipse as your IDE then everything is
all setup and ready for importing your projects.
If not, you can find the -sources and -javadoc jars in the same
directory as the base jar in your local m2 repository.
