Thanks to Eclipse IDE and the increasing number of free plug-ins available for Java developers, You can have powerful Java decompile in your armory. My search ends with JD-Eclipse , this is another free Eclipse plugin for non-commercial and personal use which helps you to get the source from class files. JD-Eclipse is easy to install and its site has a detailed step by step guide on how to install JD-Eclipse plug-in.
If you are already familiar with Eclipse plugin installation then it just a cakewalk. Once you have JD-Eclipse installed and running, you probably need to restart Eclipse once you installed the plug-in. You are ready to decompile Java class file from Eclipse.
In order to decompile class file, just open any of your Java projects and go to Maven dependencies of libraries to see the jar files included in your project. Just expand any jar file for which you don't have the source attached in Eclipse and click on the. Now you can see the source code for that file in Java editor, simple and elegant isn't it. Though I highly recommend attaching source code for JAR in Eclipse , at least for frequently used libraries like JDK or Spring as the quality of decompiled code and the original code is different.
The original code gives better visibility and also shows comment while decompiled code is just the bare minimum version. Even with powerful Eclipse IDE and plugin, we may sometimes need t o work on command prompt esp ecially while working in Linux development servers and its not convenient to switch back and forth for quick look on. Thanks to javap command you can decompile class file on the fly in command prompt.
I f it doesn't recognize the command means you need to set path, check how to set path in java more detailed steps. Try -help. Now let's see what javap command offers us. We have a s imple Java class wit h one field and one method. So it looks javap only provides information related to a method in the. It also states the constructor eve n default constructor added by Java compiler. String version ; public Hello ; public static void main java.
How to see bytecode from. Just run javap with -c option and it will print bytecodes of class file as shown in below example:. JD-Eclipse is easy to use the eclipse plugin and has detailed installation steps documented. Apart from these are much more which I haven't tried.
Just go to the Eclipse marketplace and you will see a lot of those. Relate Eclipse shortcuts and tutorials from Javarevisited Blog. How to remote debug Java application in Eclipse. Top 30 Eclipse shortcuts for Java programmers. Eclipse shortcut to comment and uncomment Java code. Eclipse shortcut to generate System.
So the question here is, as we know JAR file will have. Here comes the role of Java Decompiler. Let's check below what Decompiler is and how to use it. The art of "decompiling" can also be thought upon as reverse engineering. Decompilation involves transforming the bytecode back into Java source.
We have various ways and tools to achieve it. You can browse any. As we are using decompiler we need to be very cautious as a lot of low-level information like comments etc will get lost in the converted Java source code. For example, let's say we have a code which prints a message "Hello World" and it also has a comment section as shown below:. Now, when you compile your. When you try to decompile this. Here, you can see the difference. We don't have the comments in the decompiled version.
Additionally, the string parameter present in the main method has also been changed along with the formatting of the code. To see the code that is present in. I hope the blog makes sense about what decompiler is used for and how to use it.

Although sometimes when reverse engineering something you don't always have access to binaries. No one mentioned bytecodeviewer. Active Oldest Votes. Update February www.

There are a few decompilers out there Thanks marcinj, I found another link that has links to download it.
Add a comment. To see Java source code check some decompiler. Go search for jad. If you want to see bytecodes, just use javap which comes with the JDK. Marko Marko I'd recommend one of the open-source decompilers instead, as they are actively developed. I'll be keeping my eye on this one. Also actively developed with support for the latest Java features. Krakatau Takes a different approach in that it tries to output equivalent Java code instead of trying to reconstruct the original source, which has the potential of making it better for obfuscated code.
From my testing it was roughly on par with Procyon, but still nice to have something different. I did have to use the -skip command-line flag so it wouldn't stop on errors. Actively developed, and interestingly enough it's written in Python. Doesn't seem to be open source and development seems sporadic. JAD Worked, but only supports Java 1. Also available as an Eclipse plugin.
No longer under development.
