.class to .java File Conversion

Jad:--

Jad, the fast JAva Decompiler, is a program that reads one or more Java class files and converts them into Java source files which can be compiled again.
Jad is a 100% pure C++ program and it generally works several times faster than decompilers written in Java. Jad doesn't use the Java runtime for its functioning, therefore no special setup is required (like changes to the CLASSPATH variable).

Jad is not open source but it is free to use.

Make sure to download the GUI interface, FrontEnd Plus .

On Windows, a file association with the .class extension is made so if you click on a class file then the decompiled is shown in FrontEnd Plus right away.

Installation

Unzip jad.zip file into any appropriate directory on your hard drive. This will create two files:
- an executable file named 'jad.exe' (Windows 9x/NT/2000) or 'jad' (UNIX)
- README file 'Readme.txt', which contains the short user's manual
For UNIX users: make 'jad' executable: chmod a+x jad
No further setup is required.
