Array class code [duplicate]

Question

In java, is there any way to access the methods to classes that already you import? For example, is there a way to view the code for all the methods used for arrays? Such as the constructors, add(), remove(), size()? I have checked oracle, but there is no code, only method names and parameters. I understand how the methods work, but i'd like to see the actual code used.

primitive arrays have no methods, are you talking about Lists or other Collections ? — Aaron

@Nikem: Likely not a duplicate considering that the user is talking about primitive arrays, which are sparsely documented to begin with. — Makoto

@Nikem: Also, since arrays are a dynamically generated object, it may be tough to find the information one wants inside of the source code anyway. — Makoto

In your IDE you can ctrl+click on any method to see it's implementation even in the JDK. — Peter Lawrey

@Makoto ArrayList has constructors, add(), remove() and size(). But it's not clear. The definition of how arrays work is in the JLS, there is no source for them. — Peter Lawrey

Search for the JDK source code, depending on the version you want.
