Question

I have deleted Java class and compiled again after making changes to some image files but the changes are not still reflecting when run!

The code is rather large so I cannot post them here but is there a reason why? Do I need to use decompiler to decompile them rather than deleting?

Answer 1

No, a decompiler won’t help you here. Either you’re compiling the wrong .java files or you’re loading the wrong .class files.

Run java with -verbose:class to get a dump of where classes are loaded from.

http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-dyn0429/

Setting the parameter -verbose:class on the java command line prints a trace of the class loading process. Listing 3 shows partial output from running the Listing 2 program with this parameter:
