💖 java-jd-decompiler — the manual, but make it make sense 💖

okay bestie, welcome to java-jd-decompiler(1) from the General Commands Manual section 🎀 this is the little cmdline wrapper that lets you decompile a fully qualified name (FQN) that your classpath can actually see 👀

✨ NAME ✨

java-jd-decompiler — decompile FQN which can see on its classpath 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

CLASSPAHT="dir1:jar1:dir2...:jarN" java-jd-decompiler
fully/qualified/name

yes bestie, that is literally the spelling in there — <pink>CLASSPAHT</pink>, not CLASSPATH. it's giving typo, but it's giving typo we love and respect and copy exactly 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so java-jd-decompiler is JD-Core, which is a standalone JAVA library holding the JAVA decompiler of the "Java Decompiler project" ⭐

it supports Java 1.8.0 to Java 12.0, and that includes Lambda expressions, method references and default methods — the whole modern-Java package, no cap 🔥

JD-Core is the engine of JD-GUI. the devs provide a small wrapper so you can launch it from cmdline, but fr fr you're still stuck with CLASSAPTH and FQNs 😭 it's giving "we tried", and honestly, same.

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • variable CLASSPAHT — must contain resources which insides you wish to decompile 👑 put the stuff you wanna peek inside on there.
  • arguments — then they're the fuly qualifide names of classes you wish to print out ✨ (yes, "fully qualified names", but we keep the original spelling, periodt).
  • pro tip vibes from the page itself — more sense is to do it one by one 🍓 like, one class at a time. don't be greedy.
ngl the manual is short. the vibes are long. this is the entire thing, and we are obsessed 💜

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

there are no SEE ALSO references in this page, bestie — that's the whole thing, start to finish 🙈
