Tools: Open Source Java Decompiler

Yet another open source Java Decompiler!!

Java Decompiler Project aims to decompile and analyze Java 5 byte code and the later versions. There are two variants of the tools namely JD-GUI (as a standalone GUI) and JD-Eclipse (as a Eclipse Plug-in) available as free for non-commercial usage meaning cannot be plugged with commercial software products for free. Both these tools uses JD-Core freeware library that is pretty much used to reconstruct the Java source code from “.class” files.

Screenshot:

Some of the core features are

  • Faster Decompilation as the JD-Core & JD-GUI tools are written in C++
  • Supports DnD, new features of Java 5, color coding, etc
  • Works with most current compilers
