I work for a government contractor that is really picky about what software gets installed on their machines (US government laws). As part of a reverse engineering effort, I need to figure out what a certain set of .class files do. A decompiler would be really helpful, but I can’t seem to find one that meets the standards set here. Basically, I need to find a decompiler that was developed in the United States. Anyone know of any? Free is preferred, but commercial will do.

FYI, JAD and JD are out as they are not developed in the US.

    I figured that I should answer this since nothing provided worked. I ended up solving the requirements by using javap, guessing a lot, and banging my head against the desk until it worked. javap didn’t give me much of what I needed, since it called a lot of native code. Eventually, I got what I needed using the tried and true guess and check method.

    There really needs to be a decompiler. Maybe Sun (Oracle) can make one…
