copied!<p>I think my JDK is broken. I am on OS X 10.6.8.</p> <p>I want to look in the sources when debugging in Eclipse, etc, but Eclipse can't find the sources, so I looked up the installed JREs and found this path with the title <code>JVM 1.6.0 (MacOS X Default)</code></p> <pre><code>/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Home </code></pre> <p>In Terminal I went to the directory <code>/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions</code> and executed <code>ls -al</code>:</p> <pre><code>drwxr-xr-x 13 root wheel 442 8 Sep 22:46 . drwxr-xr-x 12 root wheel 408 8 Sep 22:46 .. lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 5 8 Sep 22:45 1.3 -> 1.3.1 drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 102 21 Jul 2009 1.3.1 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 10 8 Sep 22:45 1.4 -> CurrentJDK lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 10 8 Sep 22:45 1.4.2 -> CurrentJDK lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 10 8 Sep 22:45 1.5 -> CurrentJDK lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 10 8 Sep 22:45 1.5.0 -> CurrentJDK lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 10 8 Sep 22:45 1.6 -> CurrentJDK lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 10 8 Sep 22:45 1.6.0 -> CurrentJDK drwxr-xr-x 10 root wheel 340 8 Sep 22:46 A lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1 8 Sep 22:45 Current -> A lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 59 8 Sep 22:45 CurrentJDK -> /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents </code></pre> <p>So Eclipse already has the proper JDK linked. Another test:</p> <pre><code>$ javac -version javac 1.6.0_26 $ which javac /usr/bin/javac $ ls -al /usr/bin/ | grep javac lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 75 8 Sep 22:45 javac -> /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current/Commands/javac </code></pre> <p>So it all looks fine, but there is no rt.jar or src.jar Here is a screenshot:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/Gwjr3.jpg" alt="A screenshot showing the jars in the current JDK."></p> <p>So I try to reinstall it. I go to Apple's <a href="http://connect.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MemberSite.woa/wa/downloads" rel="nofollow noreferrer">website</a> and download this package: <code>Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 5 Developer Package</code>, file: <code>javadeveloper_for_mac_os_x_10.6__10m3425.dmg</code>. The installation finished successfully, but it doesn't change anything.</p> <p>I show the last modified files on my computer, these are only some java tools, located in <code>usr/share/java/Tools</code></p> <ul> <li>Java VisualVM </li> <li>Jar Bundler </li> <li>Applet Launcher</li> </ul> <p>There still is no rt.jar or src.jar in the java home directory.</p>
