| .JAR viewer Hi, I have some .Jar files. I can run them using codewarrior but i cannot view the code.
is there an easy to use program that will convert .JAR files to .JAVA so that i can look at the code.
I'm new to java so i dont know what Jar files are. |

1 edit | Sorry if this is a dumb question ... but if you don't know what a JAR is, why do you want to decompile one?
FWIW: »kpdus.tripod.com/jad.html has a bytecode decompiler. |

Can't be done. A .jar file is nothing more than a .zip file that holds precompiled classes. You can open up a jar file with anything that can open a zip file. As for decompiling the .class files that will be in the .jar file... there are legal issues that come into that. Why do you need to do this?

| im taking a Java class. We are building simple Java applications. We get .JAR applications which are basically samples to show what is needed.
I managed to unzip the jar file with winrar. But i want to decode the .class file so that i can look at the way the application was done.
Im still a beginner so i find it easier to learn JAVA by looking at DEMO's of applications. Thats why i want to decode the .class file. |

London, OH | I know of no .class -> .java decompilers, mainly because of the legality issues of them. You might try searching google. Also, and I can't remember if Java has one I know MS does for .net, there might be a program that will give you the skeleton structure of the code, but not any of the nitty gritty details.
