uhm... when was this? the jdk has included "src.zip" since.... forever(atleast 15 years). This included the entire class library, and any half competent IDE could(and still can) view it directly if you simply went "view source".

This goes back to before oracle purchased sun, and as such way before openjdk aswell.
