I love this program! It makes it so easy to view the source code of a program and is free and open-source and cross platform. Don't need to install Eclipse just to view code! Just run the program and open the location of the file you want to debug and that's it!

Be careful what you paste into a terminal. Check what a command installs before running it.

What is Java Decompiler?

The “Java Decompiler project” aims to develop tools in order to decompile and analyze Java 5 “byte code” and the later versions.

JD-Core is a library that reconstructs Java source code from one or more “.class” files. JD-Core may be used to recover lost source code and explore the source of Java runtime libraries. New features of Java 5, such as annotations, generics or type “enum”, are supported. JD-GUI and JD-Eclipse include JD-Core library.

JD-GUI is a standalone graphical utility that displays Java source codes of “.class” files. You can browse the reconstructed source code with the JD-GUI for instant access to methods and fields.

JD-Eclipse is a plug-in for the Eclipse platform. It allows you to display all the Java sources during your debugging process, even if you do not have them all.

JD-IntelliJ is a plug-in for... the IntelliJ IDE.

JD-Core, JD-GUI & JD-Eclipse are open source projects released under the GPLv3 License.
