    This happens automatically if you set up a JDK rather than a JRE.

    Normally, when you start eclipse, it sets up the JRE that was used to start eclipse. You’ll usually want to override this with a JDK so you get the source. To do this:

    1. First, make sure you have a JDK installed (and not just a JRE)
    2. Start eclipse
    3. Go to Window->Preferences->Java->Installed JREs
    4. Press Add…
    5. Choose “Standard VM” and press “Next…”
    6. Press “Directory…”, select the JDK installation directory and press “Ok”
    7. Press “Finish”
    8. Make sure you check the box next to the new JDK
    9. Press “Ok” to finish up

    This will set up the source properly for you.
