JADClipse not working with Eclipse 3.6

Question

Does Jadclipse work on Eclipse 3.6?

I have installed Jadclipse 3.3.0 on my Eclipse 3.6 by copying the jar into the plugins directory and restated eclipse.

Now I have the jadclipse menu under Windows->Preferences but when trying to de-compile any class it simply does not de-compile. I get the usual eclipse screen saying the source is unavailable. There are no errors in the Error Log.

Any idea?

Answer 1

I eventually found the answer here.

Running eclipse with -clean switch and setting the file association between *.class and the jadclipse plug-in solved the problem.

Answer 2

Set the JAD path correctly in Preferances>Java>Jad. Ex: D:\Jad\jad.exe

If still not working then,

Go to File extensions in Preferences. Select JadClipse as default editor for .class and .class with out source.

Answer 3

The main reason is that you eclipse have default class viewer configured for class file which you have to change to your new class decompiler.

go to preference > editor > choose "class without source" and select your tool and mark as default. will work for you :)

Answer 4

I had the same problem. Just check if the JadEclipse Class File Viewer is the default viewer for "Class without source" in Preferences -> General -> Editors -> File Associations.

Answer 5

Download jad.exe and then in eclipse there are 2 places to configure.

1. Window->Preferences->java->JadClipse give the path of jad.exe in Path to decompiler like C:\Users\Documents\xxx\jad.exe. then Apply
2. Window->Preferences->General->Editors->File Associations. Click on *.class and in below dialog box there should be JadClipse Class File Viewer(default). If not click on Add...
   add JadClipse as default file viewer.
3. Do the same for *.class without source as well.
