ITP: jad -- the first Java Decompiler
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
URL: http://www.geocities.com/kpdus/jad.htm.
Description:
Jad is a Java decompiler, i.e. program that reads one or more Java
class files and converts them into Java source files which can be
compiled again.
Jad is a 100% pure C++ program and it generally works several times
faster than decompilers written in Java.
Jad doesn't use the Java runtime for its functioning, therefore no
special setup is required (like changes to the CLASSPATH variable).
