Mocha is another nice decompiler. Search the net for mocha, and you will find lots of sites with the software.

JAD, Mocha, JDeveloper, all can decompile efficiently.
*HOWEVER*, obfuscated classes cannot be decompiled. And if you have a commercial or other serious piece of software, you may expect obfuscation.

"obfuscated classes cannot be decompiled"
I did not know this.
harvk, can you please show me a class that cannot be de-compiled?
I wrote a little java de-compiler and I'm concerned that I may not work.

jerelw,
why don't you test it out yourself by obfuscating a jar file using the free and excellent retroguard obfuscator at http://www.retrologic.com/ and see how your decompiler handles it!

Yes they can...but they generate very hard to read code...

I'd also use JAD for this. Simply type jad *.class and zap! It will decompile them all. Whose program are you decompiling anyway?

Anyway, 200 class files is not that much, so any will do. You'll spend much more time looking for a 'good' one this way than it'll take to actually decompile the class files. Try google for "java decompiler"
Hope this helps.
