I tried exactly what you said, but it doesn't seem to work. It seems like this only
works for directories containing .java files, not for directories containing .jar files.
When I click on "Edit Source Lookup..." again, then my source directory
"jboss-5.1.0.GA-src" has indeed been added, and when I unfold it I can see all
directories of the source archive, but unlike the "Default" source lookup path,
not a single jar file is listed.
Right, it is solution for JBoss AS only, because
they have source distribution archive which contains only *.java files inside. Eclipse has
no source lookup type, that visiting jar files. But you can use Archive or External
Archive type to configure them. It supports multi selection so it should be easier than
configuring them one by one
BTW this External Archive type can be used to configure JBoss AS sources without unpacking
sources archive.

I think a big problem regarding JBoss AS sources is that the structure of the source
archive is *completely* different from that of the compiled product. For instance, suppose
you were looking for the sources of jboss-web-service.jar. This file is located in the
binary distribution at /server/default/deploy/jbossweb.sar/jboss-web-service.jar. There is
*no* way the source code location even remotely resembles this. Even if the path would not
exactly match (since it's actually
/server/*/deploy/jbossweb.sar/jboss-web-service.jar), then still one would expect some
file called jboss-web-service-src.jar.
Again, this is not how the source is organized. Maybe the source of
jboss-web-service-src.jar is within an archive located in
thirdpary/jboss/foo/bar/kaz-all.jar. You just don't know... and -that- is the problem.
The problem is that JBoss AS sources doesn't include 3rd party sources, I guess.
It includes only sources that are really compiled during build. If something was bundled
in as binary dependency, it has no sources inside JBoss AS source distribution. To
configure source look up for 3rd party jars you need to process one jar at time and that
can be done when required by using "Attach Source..." button.
We have source browser implementation that understands *src.zip archives, but that in lab
component and it is not included in build.
