Where can I find a Java decompiler?

Can anyone tell me how i can convert jar file to it's corresponding .java source file?

I have jar file from unknown source. Is it possible to get the corresponding .java source file out of jar?

you can contact its author. otherwise, you're looking for a [decompiler](http://www.google.co.in/search?q=java+decompiler) — asgs, Feb 23 '11 at 12:52

In principle you can decompile any jar file, by using ,for example, JAD http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JAD_%28JAva_Decompiler%29

But if the jar was obfuscated the result may not be very pretty. ;)

Normally are in a "jar" archive only the compiled Java files (". class"). But you could theoretically try to decompile these files.

Here you'll find e.g. a decompiler
