Hi,
When installing a JDK, the Java sources are usually installed with the JDK as
a .zip or .jar file. I would prefer unpacking the .jar file so I can browse
the source code at ${JAVA_HOME}/src, *and* so I can refer to the source
directory when generating Javadoc API docs (-sourcepath option). At the moment
I need to unpack the sources manually, which is fairly cumbersome for someone
that reinstalls JDK's every now and then.
The only disadvantage I can think of is (a little) disk space.
What are your thoughts about this? Should JDK installs unpack the sources by
default ?
