You have to install the "org.eclipse.platform.source" plugin. It (and
lots of other source) is included in the "Eclipse for RCP/Plug-in
Developers" and "Eclipse Classic" packages on the download page.
If you installed one of the other packages, I don't know of an easy way
to get the source features into it. What I've done in the past is to
install the RCP/Plugin package and then grab all the source features and
plugins that I needed from that and copy them into my other Eclipse
installation.
Hope this helps,
Eric

Ganymede is Eclipse 3.4. And yes, if you are willing to go the CVS route
you can get the source for any plugin you want (as a project in your
workspace). The trick is finding the correct repository path for the
plugin(s) you are interested in.
There is a drawback of this approach in that it clutters up your
workspace with the plugin source project(s). If you install the source
as plugin(s) into your Eclipse there is no manifestation of it as a
project in your workspace.
Of course, having the source as a project is kind of nice if you want to
experiment with changing things; and it is required if you are going to
submit a patch to correct or change something in an existing plugin.
