Best Java Code decompiler?

By Jesse Babson - May. 02, 2007

Lost some java code, and am left with the class files. What is the best decompiler available that will help me get my original code back? There are about 10 class files, and the source files were fairly straightforward class files.

    Take a look at - http://www.program-transformation.org/Transform/JavaDecompilers I have used Jdec, and it did the task rather well. My code was simple, so it worked out. http://jdec.sourceforge.net/

    I agree JAD is pretty good. I've also used DJ and Jode, each of which had some issues decompiling complicated java code with imbedded loops. In some cases, I had to rebuild the source from the opcodes, which isn't that difficult if you understand what the opcodes do. The only problem is that it can be time consuming.

    I use jad with the jadEclipse plugin (http://sourceforge.net/projects/jadclipse/) to integrate it into Eclipse.
