It definitely depends on the language. The author mentions spring security so I'm assuming he's using java, where it's a massive PITA to manually hunt down and attach the sources to the 50 jars you have in lib/. Maven probably has something that will automatically do this but if your legacy project is just using ant then you're pretty much stuck.
- jradakov 13y agoJava is exactly what I'm using, and you are correct... it is a massive PITA to attach sources. Unfortunately, we're not using Maven but plan to in the future.
- tterrace 13y agoIf you're using eclipse, I found this plugin helps a bit: http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/java-source-attacher http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/java-source-attacher . For most popular jars you can just right click and hit "attach source".
- kaffeinecoma 13y agoIf you use Intellij + Maven this becomes magically seamless. I assume there is something similar for Eclipse as well. Really worth your time to make this work.
