Viewing source code from a third-party jar in Eclipse

I am working on a Java project in Eclipse. In this I am using a third party JAR which I have put in on the classpath. Now I want开发者_开发问答 to understand the code in the JAR file and want to see the actual code and navigate through the third party code just like my own code.

My question is this: Instead of me manually decompiling all of the class files in the JAR and putting them in the appropriate folder as per package declaration, is there some way in which Eclipse will decompile them for me, and put them in the appropriate folder? What should be the approach taken in such a scenario?

The decompiler I use is JAD. It has an eclipse plugin, Jadclipse.

You can download JAD from http://www.varaneckas.com/jad

You can get Jadclipse from http://sourceforge.net/projects/jadclipse/. Click on the download jar and then simply copy the jar into your Eclipse/plugins directory, and restart Eclipse. Set up the path to JAD from Preferences->Java->JADClipse. Then trying to view a class should give the decompiled code.

I have been using Java Decompiler for some time and have found it very useful, i don't know about eclipse but it seems to have a eclipse plugin: JD-Eclipse
