#Can I import source files?

if I have a library as a jar file - and decompile it using cfr or fernflower - can I then still import the source files using the same syntax as I would when it was still a jar? I.e. import com.hypixel.hytale.protocol.GameMode;

Im asking because Im trying to get intellisense in VS Code to follow referenes inside the jar. By default, I can ctrl click identifiers from my files into class files in the jar; but usually it doesnt let me do the same within the decompiled source of those class files.

So... I figured, maybe if I first decompiled the jar into a directory that could get resolved, but I cant seem to figure out how, or if I can just import these source files in the smae way I would a .jar

Addionally, being able to navigate java files using tools like file explorer as opposed to having to use specialized tools to navigate the .jar is a + for me.

Yes, you can import source files in Java. However, you cannot import the decompiled source files in the same way as a jar file. Once a jar file is decompiled, it may not have the exact structure or format as the original source files.

why not just write code and compile it yourself and put it in a jar?

Sorry I forgot to say, when doing the "real" compilation, I can still use a jar - my goal here is just to get intellisense to use the source files

#

If its possible at all that is

If Im reading https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/java/packages-in-java/ right, it seems the answer to my question is yes...

Unless you're trying to edit the source files from the decompiled code

obsidian belfry
#

no, I just want them for browsing/intellisense

obsidian trail
#

Yeah then it should be supported

alright

Vscode for Java is a bit rough to configure still

#

And there are two different plugins

obsidian belfry
#

Im using the plugin by redhat

#

obsidian belfry

Yeah I just saw, I will test it as well

#

Do you think I can use either of these settings to add source paths?

Ideally you stop using the IDE to build your project and start using gradle or maven. IDE's get updated over time and old projects WILL break.
