Description

VS Code says "By default, a referenced {binary}.jar will try to search {binary}-sources.jar under the same directory, and attach it as source if one match is found." I added the commons-math3-3.6.1.jar from Apache, and the source is right next to it with the proper suffix, however, the Project Manager for Java didn't add it to the workspace settings. Does the aforementioned feature exist? Do I do something incorrectly?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the VS Code Java library configuration behavior and how the Project Manager for Java handles workspace settings. Reproduce the case with commons-math3-3.6.1.jar and its adjacent sources JAR, then trace the dependency-management entry point. Done means the behavior is implemented or the limitation is clearly documented.
