So, I thought of writing a script for this conversion. This script also keeps the package structure same as in the jar file
Following are the prerequisites
- This is restricted to windows platform
- Unzip utility should be installed in the system
- jad decompiler should be installed.
If you don't have jad installed, you can find from the following link
click here to download - Unzip the jad.zip downlaoded in step2,set the jad.exe in the systems path variable.
- Run the command prompt in the administrator mode
Steps to run the batch file
- cd "path to which batch file is placed"
- jar2java.bat "jar file name/jar file path with jar file name" Note: Give jar file name without extension
Note:Remove the extention .txt to make it .bat file.
Example:
Step 1) >cd D:\jartojava (Copy the above downloaded batch file in this folder)
Step 2) jartojava> jar2java.bat abc (copy abc.jar in this folder)
Here a folder named abc is created with all the java files found in abc.jar.
