How to retrieve Object class from jdk

Question

As every class extends object class and executes its default constructor ,i was wondering if is there any way to see what this object class looks like and where it exists.

Not every class has a default constructor. Further, where the class "exists" as it were is given by the package structure. — Makoto, Jul 08 '14 at 17:04
Have a look at the [sources](http://www.docjar.com/html/api/java/lang/Object.java.html). — blafasel, Jul 08 '14 at 17:07

The JDK is developed as OpenJDK. The sourc code is available as a Mercurial repository. Object is at

http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8u/jdk8u/jdk/file/9bb0496deeb0/src/share/classes/java/lang/Object.java

You can also use your IDE to view the source code of every class that is shipped with source code.
