Hi All,

Is the decompiler working for anybody out there using Eclipse 3.7.2 on OS X Lion v10.7.3.

It has not worked for me for a long time and I had not bothered because I was busy and did not really need it. But now that I want to use it I can figure out why it doesn't work.

I've tried installing Eclipse 3.7.2 (cocoa 64bit version), then WOLips, then JD-eclipse which is the decompiler. I then open a class like EODatabaseContext and it does not show me the source as it used to a while back. I've also tried installing Eclipse/WOLips using Golipse.

Anyways, does anybody have any idea what may be happening?

Thanks,
Ricardo Parada

I gave up and just used the separate JD-GUI app.

Didn't try inside Eclipse, but Jad by command line works fine for me.

I have used it occasionally, but only the standalone version, I never got the eclipse plugin to work properly. JD is useful for preserving generics, and some exception handling, but I have had bad experiences with it in the past generating bad code (ie, completely wrong), bad var assignments, inverted boolean logic etc.

I still prefer to use jad in the first instance.

Hi Ricardo,

Check the File Associations preference. The JD-Eclipse Class File Editor is the default option to open *.class files?

Cheers,

Henrique

Hi,

I have JAD working from Eclipse 3.7.1 on Lion. Doesn't help much, but at least you know it can be done. :) Make sure, in Eclipse preferences, that the plugin is pointing to the JAD executable.

Regards,

Miguel Arroz

Thanks Henrique, that did it!

I clicked on the *.class file type and the clicked on JadClipse Class File Viewer in the Associated editors and then clicked the Default button to make it the default. And that seems to work.

Big Thanks!!

If you are using JD-Eclipse you should really consider adding the Realignment for JD-Eclipse plugin [1]. This makes debugging decompiled code much less painful.
