I think my JDK is broken. I am on OS X 10.6.8.
I want to look in the sources when debugging in Eclipse, etc., but Eclipse cannot find the sources, so I looked at the installed JREs and found this path with the header JVM 1.6.0 (MacOS X Default)
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Home
In the terminal, I went to the directory /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versionsand did ls -al:
drwxr-xr-x 13 root wheel 442 8 Sep 22:46 .
drwxr-xr-x 12 root wheel 408 8 Sep 22:46 ..
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 5 8 Sep 22:45 1.3 -> 1.3.1
drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 102 21 Jul 2009 1.3.1
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 10 8 Sep 22:45 1.4 -> CurrentJDK
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 10 8 Sep 22:45 1.4.2 -> CurrentJDK
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 10 8 Sep 22:45 1.5 -> CurrentJDK
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 10 8 Sep 22:45 1.5.0 -> CurrentJDK
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 10 8 Sep 22:45 1.6 -> CurrentJDK
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 10 8 Sep 22:45 1.6.0 -> CurrentJDK
drwxr-xr-x 10 root wheel 340 8 Sep 22:46 A
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1 8 Sep 22:45 Current -> A
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 59 8 Sep 22:45 CurrentJDK -> /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents
So, Eclipse already has a corresponding JDK. Another test:
$ javac -version
javac 1.6.0_26
$ which javac
/usr/bin/javac
$ ls -al /usr/bin/ | grep javac
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 75 8 Sep 22:45 javac -> /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current/Commands/javac
So everything looks great, but no rt.jar or src.jar. Here is a screenshot:

Therefore, I am trying to reinstall it. I turn to the Apple website and load the package: Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 5 Developer Packagefile: javadeveloper_for_mac_os_x_10.6__10m3425.dmg. Installation completed successfully, but does not change anything.
I show the latest modified files on my computer, these are just some java tools located in usr/share/java/Tools
- Java VisualVM
- Jar bundler
- -
java rt.jar src.jar.
