I'm building a simple calculator app from a tutorial/class on Pluralsight (Java Fundamentals class), which starts with a Main.java file, and adds a class file later, MathEquation.java.
I created a Git repo to track my progress, and uploaded to Github: JavaFundamentalsClass. I used GitIgnore.IO to find a Java IntelliJ .gitignore file, and everything seemed to be working fine on the original PC I was using.
However, after switching over to a different PC, with a fresh install of IDEA, I cloned down the repo from Github, and found that the project would not build and/or run. I get this error:
"C:\Program Files\RedHat\java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.191-1\bin\java.exe" -Dfile.encoding=windows-1252 -jar ""
Error: Unable to access jarfile
Process finished with exit code 1
I suspect that there is something in the .gitigore file that is keeping some of the project, dependency, or build information from being saved in the repo that keeps IDEA from having all the info it needs to build and run the Main.java correctly.
Can anyone help? You should be able to download the project from the repo linked above in it's currently broken state, including the .gitignore file.
Additional Info
I wiped my repo clean and recloned and I forgot, originally it doesn't even give me the run button (it is grayed out). I had to do a procedure with "Add Configuration" from a search I did for that to show up to get the error above.
Also, I did install java from the OpenJDK, rather than oracle. I figured with Oracle cutting off commercial development maybe start the switch now as I'm learning, but maybe that's the issue (normal Java on my other PC).
It's working, but...
First thing - Intellij needs to know where Java is. It appears that if the SDK/JDK is not installed prior to Intellij, you will need to tell it where Java is after installing. Or if you use OpenJDK instead of Oracle Java SDK. You can do that at View/Open Library Settings, under Platform Settings / SDKs (select the JDK home path).
Then, after setting up Java, I am able to get everything working in Intellij IDEA if I find the Main.java file, right-click, and choose "Run main.main()". This runs the program okay, and also creates a Main configuration in the Run/Debug configuration area, and finally the "Run" button becomes available.
So I can get it working, but if I wipe all the files and clone it fresh from the remote repo, I have to go through running the Main.java file directly again to recreate the configuration.
So, this still doesn't answer my original question. Why doesn't this configuration get saved in the repo? What file is this information saved in? Is there something in the .gitignore file that is keeping this information from being saved to the repo?
Look like you have a different java version on your second machine.
First of all, check your java version
Update the configuration of your project, right now it pointing to java 1.8
https://github.com/LightCC/JavaFundamentalsClass/blob/master/.idea/misc.xml
I think it might be because of java not installed on the other PC you were trying. If it is installed just check whether the path mentioned has java executable file.
The first part is ensuring Java is setup, and that Intellij IDEA knows where Java is, per the other answers, comments, and addendums to the question.
The second part is setting up the run/debug configuration, per the "It's working but.." section of the question. This can be created automatically by right-clicking the file that has the main class to be run (usually Main()...), and selecting the "Run Main.main()" option (replacing Main and main() with the file and function which needs to be run)
The final piece is that to get the run/debug configurations to save to the repo, you either need to:
Share the workspace.xml file (i.e. make sure this is not in the .gitignore file). However, there is a lot of user-specific stuff in that file, so it should normally be excluded from the repo.
Or, edit the configuration and checkmark the "Share" box in the upper right-hand corner (just right of the "Name" field). This will put the configuration into a separate folder inside the .idea folder, which should not be excluded from the repo by .gitignore.
While debugging a java app in eclipse I receive a "Source not found" error in two cases:
Stepping in to a file in a different project which is already imported
Stepping in to a file in an installed maven repository
The files are there, but eclipse won't step into them, instead it shows a button to "attach source"
I tried attaching (which opened a dialog to define a variable?!) and eclipse did jump to the file, but the debugger could not inspect any variables there. Also manually attaching the source for each dependency isn't practical, as in my case there are thousands of dependency files.
Why is this happening, and how can it be resolved?
Just 3 steps to configuration Eclipse IDE:
Note: After updating the Source Lookup paths, you'll have to stop and restart your debug session. Otherwise, the file with the missing source will continue to show "missing source".
Edit Source Lookup
Select the Edit Source Lookup... command [ Edit Source Lookup ] to open the Source Path Dialog, which allows you to make changes to the source lookup path of the selected debug target.
IMPORTANT Restart Eclipse after this last step.
Eclipse debugging works with the class actually loaded by the program.
The symptoms you describe sounds like the class in question was not found in the project, but in a distribution jar without debug info found before the project you are working with.
This can happen for several reasons but have a look at the location where the classes showing this behaviour is found (look in the navigation pane to identify it). You will most likely need to change the build path of the project to avoid using this jar and have the JVM use the project instead.
EDIT: Note that as of 2018 it is common to use a build framework like Maven, where the build path is managed by the m2e plugin so this problem should be very less frequent than when the question was asked. If you use Maven and m2e, make sure to enable Preferences / Maven / "Download Artifact Sources" or right-click the project, Maven / "Download Sources".
The symptoms perfectly describes the case when the found class doesn't have associated (or assigned) source.
You can associate the sources for JDK classes in Preferences > Java > Installed JRE. If JRE (not JDK) is detected as default JRE to be used, then your JDK classes won't have attached sources. Note that, not all of the JDK classes have provided sources, some of them are distributed in binary form only.
Classes from project's build path, added manually requires that you manually attach the associated source. The source can reside in a zip or jar file, in the workspace or in the filesystem. Eclipse will scan the zip, so your sources doesn't have to be in the root of the archive file, for example.
Classes, from dependencies coming from another plugins (maven, PDE, etc.). In this case, it is up to the plugin how the source will be provided.
PDE will require that each plugin have corresponding XXX.source bundle, which contains the source of the plugin. More information can be found here and here.
m2eclipse can fetch sources and javadocs for Maven dependencies if they are available. This feature should be enabled m2eclipse preferences (the option was named something like "Download source and javadocs".
For other plugins, you'll need to consult their documentation
Classes, which are loaded from your project are automatically matched with the sources from the project.
But what if Eclipse still suggest that you attach source, even if I correctly set my classes and their sources:
This almost always means that Eclipse is finding the class from different place than you expect. Inspect your source lookup path to see where it might get the wrong class. Update the path accordingly to your findings.
Eclipse doesn't find anything at all, when breakpoint is hit:
This happens, when you are source lookup path doesn't contain the class, which is currently loaded in the runtime. Even if the class is in the workspace, it can be invisible to the launch configuration, because Eclipse follows the source lookup path strictly and attaches only the dependencies of the project, which is currently debugged.
An exception is the debugging bundles in PDE. In this case, because the runtime is composed from multiple projects, which doesn't have to declare dependencies on one another, Eclipse will automatically find the class in the workspace, even if it is not available in the source lookup path.
I cannot see the variables when I hit a breakpoint or it just opens the source, but doesn't select the breakpoint line:
This means that in the runtime, either the JVM or the classes themselves doesn't have the necessary debug information. Each time classes are compiled, debug information can be attached. To reduce the storage space of the classes, sometimes this information is omitted, which makes debugging such code a pain. Your only chance is to try and recompile with debug enabled.
Eclipse source viewer shows different lines than those that are actually executed:
It sometimes can show that empty space is executed as well. This means that your sources doesn't match your runtime version of the classes. Even if you think that this is not possible, it is, so make sure you setup the correct sources. Or your runtime match your latest changes, depending on what are you trying to do.
From http://www.coderanch.com/t/587493/vc/Debugging-Eclipse-Source
"When running in debug mode, right click on the running thread (in threads tab) and select Edit Source Lookup. At this point, you should be able to add the necessary project/jar which contains your source code."
I added my current project in this way, and it solved my problem
I had similar problem with my eclipse maven project. I fought with this issue quite a long time then I tried to rebuild project with
mvn clean eclipse:eclipse
and it helped.
Note: Using this approach will confuse the m2e plugin since the two approaches are very different. m2e adds a virtual node to your project called "Maven Dependencies" and asks Maven to add all dependencies there.
mvn eclipse:eclipse, on the other hand, will create a lot of individual entries in the file .classpath. Eclipse will handle them as if you manually added JARs to your project.
Unless you know how the classpath in Eclipse works, this approach is not recommended.
I was facing the same issue,I followed the bellow steps.
Window => Preferences => Java => Installed JREs,
You see in the above screen Jre1.8.0_12 is selected.
select the JRE you are using and click Edit. Now You should see the bellow screen.
Click on the directory, browse for Jdk, It should look like bellow screen.
click ok, and its done
I had the problem that my Eclipse was not debugging the source code of my project. I was getting a blank page with "Source code node found".
Please click the Attach source code button. Then delete the "default" folder then click add and go to your project location and attach. This worked for me
Remove the existing Debug Configuration and create a new one. That should resolve the problem.
None of the mentioned answer worked for me.
To resolve this issue i have to follow bellow steps:
Right click on Java HotSpot(TM) 64 Bit server.
Select "Edit Source Lookup".
Click on "Add".
Select "File System Directory" instead of Java project.
Select Root directory of your project.
Check "Search Subfolders".
Click Ok ok ok.
Thanks.
Click -> Edit Source Lookup Path
after then
Click -> Add finally select Java project and select project path.
Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGIKPY6q1Qw
In my case, even after Editing source lookup and Adding project, it didn't worked. I configured the Build path of the project.
After that, I selected JRE System Library and it worked.
Evidently, Eclipse does not automatically know where the source code for the dependent jars are. It is not clear why debugger could not inspect variables once the source was attached. One possibility is incorrect/incompatible source.
Assuming you have a maven project and the sources of the dependencies are downloaded and available in the local repository, you may want to install m2eclipse, the maven eclipse plugin and see if that helps in addressing your issue.
You might have source code of a dependency accessible to Eclipse. But Eclipse does not know for source code for code that is dynamically loaded. E.g. through Maven.
In case of Maven, I recommend that you use run-jetty-run plugin:
http://code.google.com/p/run-jetty-run/
As a workaround you can also connect to a running JVM with the debugger and you will see the code.
Alternatively you can use Dynamic Source Lookup plugin for Eclipse from here:
https://github.com/ifedorenko/com.ifedorenko.m2e.sourcelookup
Unfortunately it didn't helped me as it has issues with Windows paths with spaces.
I have filled an enhancement request on Eclipse Bugzilla and if you agree this issue "Source not found" should vanish forever, please vote for it here:

In my case in "Attach Source", I added the other maven project directory in the "Source Attachment Configuration" panel. Adding the latest version jar from the m2 repository din't work. All the classes from the other maven project failed to open.
Here test was my other maven project containing all the java sources.
I had the very same problem. In my case, I've disabled Window-Preferences-Java-Debug [Suspend execution on uncaught exceptions]. Then, the console showed me the correct error: my MySql user hadn't privileges to access the database. According to this topic.
Info: This is a possible solution, when you use maven (pom.xml) with couple of projects.
If you are working with maven, make sure what version you are taking inside the according pom.xml (e. g. 1.0.1-SNAPSHOT ).
It might be possible that your code is up-to-date, but your pom.xml dependencies are still taking the old JAR's/Snapshots (with the old code).
Finding the problem:
Try to debug the according file.
Therefore, set a breakpoint in the relevant code area.
When "source not found" appears, make sure to bind in the right project (where the .java file can be found).
The compile .class file opens up in the IDE editor.
Click "Link with Editor" to find the according JAR/Snapshot.
Now make sure that this JAR is the most recent one. Possibly there is a newer one. In that case, write the most recent version number in the pom.xml.
Then do a maven update and build (e. g. "mvn clean install -U") in the right project directory.
If you are on eclipse or STS please install and Use GC(GrepCode Plugin) ,some time you don't need to attach the source .zip file into your project path so GrepCode works fine for you.
I've had a related issue in connection with Glassfish server debugging in Eclipse.
This was brought about by loading the source code from a different repository (changing from SVN to GitHub). In the process, the wrong compiled classes were used by the Glassfish server and hence, the source and run time would be out of sync with break points appearing on empty lines.
To solve this, rename or delete the top folder of the classes directory and Glassfish will recreate the whole class directory tree including updating the class files with the correctly compiled version.
The classes directory is located in: /workspace/glassfish3122eclipsedefaultdomain/eclipseApps/< your Web Application>/WEB-INF/classes
In my case with tomcat projects I have checked project here:
Window - Preferences - Tomcat - Source Path - Add java projects to source path
In my case the Maven version of the other referenced project didn't match the version of the test project. Once they were the same, the problem disappeared.
When running in debug mode, click Edit Source Lookup after suspended from thread. At this point, we should be able to add the necessary project/jar which contains your source code.
After I added my current project in this way, and it solved my problem. Thanks
If you want to attach source code to any JAR by auto-downloading, try using this Eclipse plugin Java Source Attacher
I had this problem while working on java code to do process on a excel file containing a data set, then convert it to .csv file, i tried answers to this post, but they did not work.
the problem was the jar files themselves. after downloading needed jar files one by one(older releases) and add them to my project, "source not found" error vanished.
maybe you can check your jar files.
hope this would help.
this worked for me
right click on project -> Properties -> Deployment Assembly -> add your jar
Go to Debug configuration in eclipse and use below goal to run your application.
-Dmaven.surefire.debug
e.g
-Dmaven.surefire.debug exec:java
Well, here's what worked for me. I tried every possible solution on StackOverflow that there was. I tried changing my source location in the debug menu, I installed the m2e Eclipse plugin, I changed from embedded Maven, and I installed the run-jetty-run and nothing worked. Now, I will caveat that I was not trying to view an external person's source code, I just wanted to see my OWN code, but every time I "stepped in" to my methods that I wrote that were in MY project, I got the "Source now found" error.
After finally asking an expert, my issue was that the first thing Eclipse was doing was calling a ClassLoader, which you can see from the debug stack. All I had to do was F6 (step over) and then it took me back to my original call and then F5 (step in). And there was my code. Sigh...such a simple fix but an hour wasted.
For beginners,
There is a possibility that the jar file is a part of the project which you have not yet included in the Eclipse workspace.
For that, you need to know the project name of the jar file.
Say for example, its abc-18.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar, it means that the project you are supposed to include in your workspace is abc.
I had the same issue with eclipse 2019-03 (4.11.0) and I was only able to solve this by doing the debugging via remote debugging instead of directly launching it in debug mode.
Attach source -> Add -> External Archive -> select the jar -> open -> done
the catch is look for the sources jar and attach this jar.
for example the jar ends with "-sources" Stax2-api-3.4.1-sources
sometimes these thing happens because of the version also like if you are using latest
version in that case it may arise try to use older version it will work.
I have the JD-eclipse-plugin installed. I want to decompile the classes within a jar-file. So I select the jar-file within Project-Explorer and click Decompiler in the Menu. However both decompilers (JAD and JD-core) are greyed out.
I also tried the steps shown in this blog on AVAJAVA Web Tutorials. I guess the blog is a bit outdated, however I can see within Windows-->Preferences-->Java-->Decompiler that Jad is correctly set up. But there is no JD-eclipse found within Preferences-->General-->Editors-->File Associations as you can see in the following image.. Now I right click the jar-file within Project-Explorer, but there is no such "Attach Source File".
Did I miss anything to set up the plugin?
EDIT: I´m using the following setup: Eclipse: Mars.1 Release (4.5.1); JadClipse 4.0.0; JDK 1.8
EDIT2: Forgot to mention that I use Tomcat and want to dive into the libraries from /WebContent/WEB-INF/lib. This is not working, I cannot further collapse the jar-files.
For Eclipse 2018-09 , the problem was related to " class without source
"
I had resolved this issue by going to:
Preferences
General
Editors
File Associations
Class without source
and setting decompliler viewer as default : see the following screen shot:
Obviously I mixed the actual JD-eclipse-plugin an a plugin called JadClipse for Eclipse which is a slightly different plugin from eclipse marketplace. Thus when I followed the installation instructions of JD-eclipse, I could set the options for the screenshot posted within the question. So I set JD-eclipse as default for both *.class-files with and those without source-code.
Second mistake I did was a pretty silly and obvious one, namely that I wanted to browse the jar-files from within WEB-INF-folder of my Tomcat instead of from within Java Resources. Thus I could not dive into the jar-files at all hindering me to get to the class-level and thus to decompile those classes contained within the jar.
I hope this helps anyone outside also having trouble with the plugin for eclipse.
I had the same problem but "class without source" did have decompliler viewer as default. So all I did was set class file viewer as default and then switched back and that fixed the issue.
I had to update all of my plugins. the Procyon decompiler has this symptom when running under java 11 or later.

For beginners,
There is a possibility that the jar file is a part of the project which you have not yet included in the Eclipse workspace.
For that, you need to know the project name of the jar file.
Say for example, its abc-18.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar, it means that the project you are supposed to include in your workspace is abc.
I had the same issue with eclipse 2019-03 (4.11.0) and I was only able to solve this by doing the debugging via remote debugging instead of directly launching it in debug mode.
Attach source -> Add -> External Archive -> select the jar -> open -> done
the catch is look for the sources jar and attach this jar.
for example the jar ends with "-sources" Stax2-api-3.4.1-sources
sometimes these thing happens because of the version also like if you are using latest
version in that case it may arise try to use older version it will work.
There is some strange behaviour in Eclipse IDE:
I added some sources to a jar, and now I can inspect the classes.
Unfortunately, the debugger does not find the sources, so i am seeing the "Edit Source Lookup Button". using the button to point to the sources again - doesnt work.
What i did:
- I explicitely added the sources to the Run Configuration. They atre not found by debugger either.
What is going wrong here?
From the screenshots it seems like the missing sources are those for the ClassNotFoundException class (part of JDK/JRE), while you're only showing there are sources attached to some project-specific jars.
If this is the case, the sources of the JDK are to be attached separately (on windows systems, if you have a JDK rather that a JRE, they should attach themselves automatically when you register it in eclipse)
