    Hi there

    This is a nice tool.

    I tried it for the first time today and I can't appear to edit a String in a class file. In the details all I see is a String value (543) and the Description says "The string_index items points to a Utf8 structure".

    Is there something I should be doing to enable editing?

    Thanks

    Bernard

      Hi Bernard,

      I guess you are trying to edit a String value in the constant pool. ClassEditor does allow editing of String values in the constant pool.

      As a saftey measure, whenever ClassEditor is started, it starts in 'read only' mode and won't let you edit any class file. To go into 'modify mode' you should push the green colored button on the top right hand corner of the ClassEditor screen that says "Modify Mode (Off)".

      Thanks,
      Tanmay.
