#87 The decompiler attempts to load class "extends"

[John Bollinger]

JODE is great! However, when decompiling code
(presumably) compiled with Java SE 5, the program
appears to erroneously attempt to load a class named
"extends" (and fail):

Jode (c) 1998-2001 Jochen Hoenicke <jochen@gnu.org>

The program then proceeds to decompile the class, with
considerable success. Given that the class file does
not appear to have been obfuscated, and that "extends"
is not a legal Java class name, it looks to me as if
JODE is getting confused. JODE seems successfully to
ignore the problem, however, so the issue seems mostly
cosmetic.

I ran into this issue when decompiling several of the
classes from Sun's JRE library. Class
sun.plugin.javascript.JSContext is probably a good test
case because it's very simple: an interface with a
single method.

I think this is due to the new bytecode attributes that are
disturbing the old bytecode package. You can try Jode's
Subversion trunk (or jode-1.90-xyz); this has a completely
reworked bytecode package and no problems with
sun.plugin.javascript.JSContext.
