Description Darin Wright CLA 2002-02-27 10:13:05 EST 
When a class file is opened in an editor, which has no source, a message should 
be displayed in the editor rather than leaving it blank. For example "No source 
available." or "Source not available.".
Comment 1 Erich Gamma CLA 2002-03-04 18:56:53 EST 
we can distinguish the "no source" from the "empty source" case. Here is the 
API spec for IJavaElement.getSource()

* @return the source code, or <code>null</code> if this element has no 
*   associated source code
