cannot resolve symbol problem with borland jbuilder

I am trying to recompile a java applet I decompiled. I decompiled them all, then I renamed them to .java and placed them into a project in borland jbuilder. I tried to compile it, but got the following errors, can someone please help?

"PantyChat.java": cannot resolve symbol: class n in class PantyChat at line 23, column 3
"PantyChat.java": cannot resolve symbol: class o in class PantyChat at line 32, column 3
"PantyChat.java": cannot resolve symbol: class p in class PantyChat at line 33, column 3
"PantyChat.java": cannot resolve symbol: class q in class PantyChat at line 34, column 3

I put them all in, but how do I make them see each other

CEHJ

You can't. If they are no meant to, then they won't, if they are then they will unless you have a problem with your decompiler.

It looks as if the applet has been obfuscated by the compiler. This is an attempt to make the code unreadible, even undecompilable. It does this by renaming everything it can to silly short names, to make the code hard to read. Names like n, o, p, q - these don't sound lie the original names to me. Not names I'd use anyway.

If it's a "good" obfuscator, it can make the decompilation not work at all or at the very lease be very confusing. And I think it has.

So I suspect you are not going to get very far.

I'd give up if I were you!

I'd say it certainly has been obfuscated, but those classes should still be available.

No comment has been added lately, so it's time to clean up this TA.
I will leave a recommendation in the Cleanup topic area that this question is:
