Solution 1

Since you're using Tomcat, you need to download the Tomcat Source Code Distribution. Here is the Tomcat 6.0.32 source. Once downloaded, open a random Servlet API or Tomcat API specific file, e.g. Ctrl+Click or Ctrl+Shift+T HttpServlet, then click Attach source, then locate the zip file you just downloaded.

That's it.

Solution 2

Download from the Tomcat web page in section Source Code Distributions the zip file (not Binary Distributions). Then attach the source to this downloaded file.
