In IDEA, can't drill all the way down to Scala library files
Fri, 2010-09-10, 21:03
I've added the scala lib .jar files to my project by hand (still working on having IDEA recognize these automatically, thanks for all the great tips), and find that in the Project browser I can, say, drill down to scala-library.jar/scala/collection/mutable--but when I click on the triangle at the left of "mutable", the triangle simply disappears, and idea doesn't show any source files in that dir. Any guesses as to what might be causing this?
Thanks,
Ken

If you use Maven, you can have IDEA download source/javadoc jars for you
(if they're available).

Jar files are usually compiled binaries. They usually don't have any
source code embedded in them.
