A standalone graphical utility that displays Java sources from CLASS files
Highlights
- Decompiles compiled Java CLASS files into readable source code formats.
- Navigates through nested package structures and directory hierarchies.
- Opens compressed archives like JAR files to inspect multiple classes simultaneously.
- Provides a graphical text viewer with syntax highlighting for code analysis.
About this application
JD-GUI is a standalone graphical utility designed to decompile and display Java source code directly from compiled CLASS files. Developed as part of the Java Decompiler project, the application provides a visual interface for inspecting the underlying structures of Java bytecode without requiring access to the original source files. Users can navigate through package hierarchies, examine class definitions, and read reconstructed methods within a built-in text viewer.
The software operates exclusively on Linux systems as a desktop tool. It supports opening individual class files as well as entire archives such as JAR files, presenting the contents in a directory tree structure. While it aids in code inspection and debugging scenarios where source code is missing, decompiled output may occasionally differ from the original human-written code due to optimizations applied during the compilation process.
