Best free Java .class viewer? [closed]

Answer 1

Many of these decompilers are based on Jad:

• http://www.kpdus.com/jad.html

I like the JadClipse Eclipse plugin:

• http://sourceforge.net/projects/jadclipse

Answer 2

There was another thread on StackOverflow which linked to http://java.decompiler.free.fr/

Answer 3

I just published a stand-alone Java Decompiler GUI (based on Jad) which you can get from Util Java Decompiler (JAD based) v1.0

This is a Windows based .NET 4.0 application, which supports the drag n'drop of *.jar files.

It doesn't integrate with Window Explorer, but since this is based on a simple C# script, and the code is Open Source, maybe you could add that feature :)

Another idea would be to also add support for the other free java decompilers.

Answer 4

Try JDGUI simple, lightweight and fast

Answer 5

JAD is one of the best Java Decompiler today. This is one brilliant piece of software. Nevertheless, the last JDK supported by JAD 1.5.8 (Apr 14, 2001) is JDK 1.3.

DJ Java Decompiler, JadClipse, Cavaj and JarInspector are powered by Jad. The last version of Decafe Pro has been released on 2002-01-03.

These viewers can not display Java 5 sources.

So, I use JD-GUI : logic, I'm the author :)
