I would like to do the same. On the Eclipse wiki, the read this article on
how to open Eclipse source code in your workspace.
But I am still wondering about a couple things. Maybe someone on here has an idea...
I was able to find and open (check out) the project I care about (org.eclipse.ant.ui -- I want to debug org.eclipse.internal.ui.datatransfer.AntBuildfileE xportWizard). But it won't build due to errors because of unresolved dependencies.
For example, the first error,
AbstractDecoratedTextEditorPreferenceConstants cannot be resolved
in folder: org.eclipse.ant.ui/Ant Editor/org/eclipse/ant/internal/ui/editor
AntAutoEditStrategy.java line 313
This is because AntAutoEditStrategy.java imports org.eclipse.ui.texteditor.AbstractDecoratedTextEdi torPreferenceConstants but I haven't checked that project out.
Short of resolving all these many dependencies manually by figuring out what to check out (or checking every project out), what are my options?
Ideally, I'd like to just check out the project I want to work on, and build against a library (I'm not exactly sure how to say that; since I'm already running Eclipse, I should have what I need, no?).
So, if anyone can steer me in the right direction there, that'd be great.
Thanks
Ed
