Generate java-Files of a jar-File

Hello,

I have a big problem. My harddisk crashed, and so I can't read any data on it. On it was the sourcecode of a tool I have written. But I forgot to make a backup of the sourcecode, I only have a jar-File.

Is there a posssibility to reconstruct the java-files? I worked on this tool a lot, and I don't want to write it again, just to fix bugs and to add new features. :(

You can unzip the jar file to obtain the class files.Form the class files you can decompile the source. Search for a java decompiler like "jad". Caveat: local variable names will be lost, constants will be resolved etc.
