First method: Maven command download source code and Javadocs
When using Maven in the IDE, if you want to see the source code and Javadoc of the classes in the referenced jar package need to download the source code through the MAVEN command and then introduce it, it is easy to achieve this with the MVN command:
MVN dependency:sources
MVN Dependency:resolve-dclassifier=javadoc
How to use the command: first go to the appropriate Pom.xml directory, and then execute the above command:
The first command is to try to download the source code of the files that are dependent on pom.xml.
The second command: is to try to download the corresponding Javadocs
However, it is possible that some files do not have source code or Javadocs

The second method: Add by configuration file
Open the MAVEN configuration file Setting.xml file (.../.m2/settings.xml) to add the following configuration:
<profiles> <profile> <id>downloadSources</id> <properties> < downloadsources>true</downloadsources> <downloadJavadocs>true</downloadJavadocs> </properties> </profile> </profiles> <activeProfiles> < Activeprofile>downloadsources</activeprofile> </activeProfiles>
Third method: Configure Eclipse
Window > Preferences > Maven then tick "Download Artifact Sources" and "Download Artifact JavaDoc" option, configure the corresponding package in Pom.xml, Mave n Download the jar package while downloading the source code and Javadoc documentation
The third kind of personal recommendation, because it is more convenient and fast.
