Decompiling Java applications

Decompilation is the process of recreating source code Decompiler
I Recently wondered: What Decompiler is the best?
Began to torment Google, experiment. Finally found a great solution. As decompiling any program and get working the "source"? This was in the subject.

Quick overview of the popular Decompiler software


Mocha

Mocha (the author, Hanpeter van Vliet) is probably one of the first released of Java Decompiler software. Provides a console user interface. It was released in 1996, the year before, as a Java Development Kit version 1.1

JAva Decompiler

JAva Decompiler, JAD (author — Pavel Kouznetsov) — apparently, the
popular Decompiler Java. Like Mocha, the Decompiler provides a console interface, not updated and not supported, but a large number of graphical tools to work with it, including the JadClipse plugin for Eclipse IDE that makes it to this day used as handy tools to decompile the classes small.
In addition to decompiling JAva Decompiler has the ability to disassembly .class files.

DJ Java Decompiler

DJ Java Decompiler (the author — Atanas Neshkov) — for a long time despite its name is only a GUI for the previous program, allowing easily and conveniently to select the command-line arguments to call JAD. In the current version added support for annotations, but the program has become shareware (purchase after 10 trial uses).

JD-Core

JD-Core (by Emmanuel Dupuy) is a very powerful and functional library for decompiling and analyzing Java bytecode, developed in the framework of the "Java Decompiler project".
Has the following features:
the
    the
  • Entirely written in C++, which makes decompilation extremely fast
    • the
  • without the need for the Java Runtime Environment and therefore does not require special installation
    • the
  • Correctly decompiles .class files generated by most compilers
Perhaps the disadvantages of JD-Core can be attributed only to the fact that it is as
part of the independent graphic apps JD-GUI, also developed in C++ and prilinkovan to it statically, or plugin JD-Eclipse for the Eclipse development environment that makes it virtually impossible to use in third-party non-profit project, especially developed in the Java language. Use the library in commercial software is prohibited by the author.

Fernflower

Fernflower — one of the best Decompiler software Java programming language to date.
Has the following features:
1. Support various language constructs:
the
    the
  • Parametric types
    • the
  • the Annotations
    • the
  • Enum types
    • the
  • Statements
2. Correctly decompiles the bytecode, generated due to some known bugs of compilers

My choice


    the
  1. JD-GUI — for viewing, not more
    2. the
  2. Fernflower — full restore

Stop at the second. In General, the author of the Decompiler not seem to put an offline version in the common access(or I missed this fact when reading his blog), until recently, was only online. But for me it was a pleasant surprise to find it on one forum!

Download: fernflower.jar

Quote from blog:
Fernflower will develop in the direction of deobfuscator
...
Special features deobfuscation now contains the Fernflower not, they will connect in the future, individual modules,
because the online version for reasons unknown doesn't work, and about offline it's hard to say anything(except that the quality of the decompilation is excellent), not about any modules at the moment of speech can not be.
do Not have another module rename
Yes. Look for something on the Internet.
The revenue will come Proguard, but unusual
ProGuardDeobfuscator — a small modification of ProGuard, turning it into a quasi-deobfuscator. In the process obfuscated the short names of packages, classes, fields and methods are replaced by more meaningful and unique within a Jar file.
Download the source code and deobfuscator: projectd8.org/Programs/Java/PGD
The tools are all there, but I personally, for ease of recreating sorrow use the same favorite Netbeans IDE helps you a lot with their tips, especially when a lot of classes.
Thank you for your attention!

Sorry, in the offline version of Fernflower there is a module renaming and lots of other stuff — Readme

Why I left Google Zurich

the Backstory The question I often hear from different people and now I will try to answer it. Probably for anybody not a secret, but still: how does Google? They recruit the best engineers pay them large enough (even for Switzerland) salary and create an amazing environment for work, free food, massage at the office, the phantasmagoric recreation area , childrens slide down directly into the dining room, etc. This is very cool, like to write journalists, but it doesn't matter. Well, how many times will you walk down the hall on the hill and is it important? Free food has led to the fact that the majority of Googlers fat pounds five after a job, thus denying yourself the pleasure to go to lunch every day in a new restaurant. What's more determines how good you feel at work, free food, massage, design zones, the rest or the work that you do? I'm sure that's really important what you do every day and how this activity brings joy. Google hires the b...

FreeBSD + PostgreSQL: tuning the database server

Hello, Charcoaldust! Probably, my article will be of no interest hardened sysadmin and copy-paste seem. But I'm addressing it to those who, like me, being the only developer for the first time faced with the need also to administrate the server, thus solving the problem of highly loaded database. And to Google you are not cursed, try to gather in one place the basic techniques for acceleration of the database server, which I have successfully managed to implement. The input data my problem is the following: dual processor (Intel Xeon) machine, 8 hard drives at 500GB and 12Gb of RAM. And complete, including physical, access to this good. Task: to arrange a fast database server based on FreeBSD and PostgreSQL. 1. RAID The correct partitioning of the available hard drives on raids we need to be PostgreSQL, as tablespacing (more on this below). Your 8 hard I broke into pairs and organized in this way: two pairs unite in RAID1 and two pairs in RAID0 (actually, for our...
