How can I see the argument names of foreign Java classes in the Eclipse tooltips and autocompletion?

Essentially, after compiling utility jars w/ ANT, I'm having the problem that all the parameters are showing up in Eclipse's tool-tip as arg0, arg1 etc.

For example:

public void myMethod(String name, String address)

After being compiled into a jar file shows up as

public void myMethod(String arg0, String arg1)

For some methods, which take a significant number of parameters, this can make them quite difficult to use. How can I keep my parameter names when compiling using ANT?

You will have to attach the source files to the binary jar.
Under Referenced Libraries right click on the jar file, go to Properties, then Java Source Attachment.
