Eclipse Decompiler Plugins

JADClipse plugin worked fine with Eclipse Galileo (3.5) on my old laptop, but failed on the Dell. The funny thing is JAD works fine from the command line, but cuts no ice with Eclipse. Tried by pointing Eclipse to the JADClipse update url, it downloads the jars yes but decompile it does not. Tried an eclipse -clean, still no luck.

All I can assume is JADClipse does't work on 64 bit machines, weird yes, but true.

An option you can choose to go with is JD-Eclipse plugin. Use Eclipse Update Manager to download JD and change the .class association to the JD Class File Editor.

BTW, if interested, steps to follow for setting up JAD with Eclipse on win32 machines.
