| ClassCracker 3.02 |
Mayon’s
ClassCracker lets you reverse engineer class files three ways:
- a decompiler that converts Java class files to Java source code.
- a disassembler that converts Java class files to JVM instructions (opcodes)
- a class file DUMPer that displays the structure of Java class files.

Graphical front end for Jad. A 2006 version of JAD is
included. Highly recommended. I used it successfully to decompileJava version 1.5
enums back toJava version 1.4 style code. The new version can’t do that since it decompiles even Java 1.6
constructs. Does not require Java to run but does require W95/W98/Me/NT/W2K/XP/W2003/Vista/W7-32/W7-64.
It intent is to as accurately as possible recreate the original Java. It is not good if you are trying to
figure out how Java works under the hood, e.g. to figure out how enum works,
since it reorders and tidies too much. For that, you are best to use a disassembler in conjunction.
