Where can I find JDK library source files

Hello friends,
though I have been programming in java from quite some time and importing library classes to my code, I failed to locate where these files are located in my machine.
One blog said that I should copy the rt.jar file in a temporary folder and extract it. It gives all the library classes, but are dot class files and not dot java files.
So, can anyone please let me know where I can find the library source files in my machine.
Regards
Hawker

I hope this can help: JDK 8 README
It list the content of the JDK and much more information about it.

Hi Rigoberto,
Thanks for your reply.The link which you had sent says that the source library files can be found in src.zip. I searched and found it under the folder C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_60. Seems the zip file is hidden.
On unzipping I could find the required java library source files.
Thanks and Regards
Hawker
