Today i will show you how to install JadClipse plugin in your Eclipse IDE. The main purpose of JadClipse is to decompile Java class files to source files in Eclipse. If you want to do so you must have JadClipse plugin installed and enabled in your eclipse.
Steps to Install JadClipse Plugin in Eclilpse
- Download JadClipse plugin from sourceforge
- Copy downloaded JadClipse JAR into ‘plugins‘ folder of your Eclipse
- Restart your eclipse
- Download JAD from varaneckas, once downloaded just unzip it, which gives you an executable file [ jad.exe ] and Readme.txt
- Windows > Preferences > Java > JadClipse : Give the ‘jad.exe‘ path in ‘Path to de-compiler‘ > Click on Apply and Ok
- Once again go to Windows > Preferences > General > Editors > File Associations > In the right side select ‘*.class‘ > Now in the bellow window select JadClipse Class File Viewer as a default file association
- If you didn’t find ‘JadClipse Class File Viewer‘ in Associated editors window, click on Add > select ‘JadClipse Class File Viewer‘ from that list and make it as a default viewer > Ok
- That’s it you did it.

eclipse is still not able to decompile
I even ran eclipse -clean
Please install jad from Eclipse MarketPlace:
1. Go to Help> Eclipse Marketplace> Search JAD keyword and install this jad plugin
2. Restart Eclipse
Note to readers:
Author forgot to mention that in File association you have to select the “JadClipse Class viewer” and have to click the button — Default. Otherwise your settings will not be saved.
If still not working, select ‘class without source‘ and select “JadClipse Class viewer” and have to click the button — Default.

Even after trying all the above step Decomplier is not working. Just try one more step
