What a relief - I can probably claim now quite confidently that Jdec support Java 1.5 important features- namely :
- Annotation support
- Generic Support (? How come- read on)
Annotation support – The class spec mentions both Runtime visible and invisible annotaitons at various levels :
- Class level
- Method level
- Method Parameter level
- Field level
I was able to add support for all these into jdec in the past couple of weeks.
Generic Support
Well, we know that generic are implemented by erasure. BUT the good part is that if the class is compiled with debug support, then jdec can give out better decompiled output by reading generic signature that is registered by the compiler in constant pool section of the class file.
This is how generic support has been implemented in Jdec. We know the saying right- somethings better than nothing.I will be posting some code sample of code decompiled by jdec in the following blogs
NOTE: The updated code is still not present in sf.net. I will make a release probably after few weeks when I have fixed many regular bugs in jdec.
