Any chance the code you are trying to read has been locked/obfuscated?

[Deepak Bala]

It works pretty fine for me. Can you post a link to the class file you are trying to decompile so we can try ? Or try to decompile a hello world application just to see if the thing works.

Good Morning...

I have tried with a simple class HelloWorld, but still its giving same exception 'JavaClassFileReaderException can't open Helloworld.class'

Is there any class path or something to be set.

Thanks
Smitha.

If you can't get JAD to work, try using another decompiler.

Try Google, search for "java decompiler" (not "decomplier").

I apolize, I was trying with a wrong path. Its working...

Thanks
Smitha.

Hello smitha,

The java code may be obfuscated, so dont go straight away with decompiler, have a look at the produced java code, whether it is correct or not.

Some of the Decompilers will fail with some patterns, so verify the generated .java file before use.

JAD is the best decompiler.
There is a very nice GUI for JAD called FrontEnd Plus whcih is a free tool.
you can download it from
