Cavaj

This page or section is unfinished.

Cavaj was the first public Java decompiler, it was highly criticize and caused quite the stir in the early Java community. It was sadly not maintained and of course grew outdated in time. You can download a copy of it here http://download.cnet.com/Cavaj-Java-Decompiler/3000-2213_4-10071619.html

Download: The Bytecode Club tools page

How to use

If you already have Cavaj installed, open a .class file in its Windows interface, browse the reconstructed source, and save a copy with its file menu. The original documentation and a dependable publisher download could not be verified; exact menu labels may vary by release.

For newer Java files, the tools page lists maintained alternatives such as CFR and Vineflower.
