Fernflower is an open-source Java decompiler originally developed by JetBrains that takes compiled Java bytecode and reconstructs readable source code, helping developers understand, debug, and recover lost Java code from .class files. It works by analyzing the structure of bytecode and inferring higher-level constructs like loops, conditionals, generics, and exception handling to produce Java source that is as close as possible to what a human would have written, making it useful for both...

JD-GUI is a standalone graphical Java decompiler that allows users to reconstruct and explore source code from compiled .class files. It provides an intuitive interface for browsing decompiled code, making it easier to inspect methods, fields, and class structures without access to original source files. The tool is widely used for reverse engineering, debugging, and understanding third-party libraries. It supports opening individual files as well as entire archives such as JARs, enabling...

After a program has been thrown into the world in binary form, it can boomerang back as source code. The Boomerang reverse engineering framework is the first general native executable decompiler available to the public.
