I’m building myself a processing library, and I would like to be able to step into my library methods fro my Proclipsing sketch in order to properly debug. However, after trying numerous fixes, I am unable to get this functionality.

I am using [the Processing library template](https://github.com/processing/processing-library-template), and its built-in .xml + ant to compile my .jar

Everything runs well, but if I attempt to step into a library method I end up on [this screen.](http://blob:https://imgur.com/1a4d0b2a-a53d-4df0-8efc-04b584a8889e) I have tried attaching the source, but that does not seem to change anything.

I have also tried [all the suggestions on this page](https://forum.processing.org/two/discussion/6258/how-to-attach-a-debugger-to-my-library) to no avail.

EDIT:  
[This is how my source is attached to the .jar](https://i.imgur.com/c7qyyWq.png)
