I've opened a .class file with DJ decompiler, edited it but cannot save it back to a .class
I get this message:
Because file extension is not RTF file C:\test.java will be saved in Text Format (Plain Text)!
I end up getting a JAD and JAVA file but not an edited .class.
How do i save the edited file as a .class? Anyone know? Please excuse my lack of knowledge, I'm new to java.

You don't t ypically edit a class file - the .class file is not a text file.

No, the standard flow is to edit the source code, then compile it to produce the corresponding class file.

Good Luck

Thanks for the link. I followed the directions but got this error:
'javac' is not a recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file
So I searched and found this thread:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=445885&tstart=270
I don't understand what "tschodt" or anyone else is saying. I realize theres a path error but I don't know how to follow their instructions.
"You can either explicitly name javac.exe
C:\foo\bar\> C:\j2sdk1.4.2_01\bin\javac Filename.java"
Huh? what? How? LOL Could you please explain them better, or give me your own instructions?
