How exactly do you set a PATH environment variable? I went to the environment variables section and tried to add it, but failed miserably... =P Can you please help? I would really love to get this decompiler working.

Hi Michael,
If you are using Windows XP:
1) Select Start | Settings | Control Panel
2) Double click System
3) Select tab Advanced
4) Click button "Environment Variables"
5) In the System Variables window, select Path
6) Click Edit button
7) Add in field "Variable value": ;c:\Tools\jad1.5.8
Note: You can also use a Graphical UI, see:

Thanks for the FrontEnd link. The link is not provided on the jad website i.e. on http://www.kpdus.com.

The link is dead. Where can I get it now?

Jad is a powerful tool. Unfortunately, Jad is no longer maintained (the latest release is jad1.5.8g) while the java compilers continue to evolve... To achieve better results (including for Java 1.5+ classes) in decompilation, process the classes with JadRetro (jadretro.sf.net) tool before decompiling them by Jad. (Of course, the tool can't make Jad produce the correct source in all cases but tries to do its best.)
You can download jad with DJ Java Decompiler from http://members.fortunecity.com/neshkov/dj.html DJ adds support for annotations in java 1.5

Also read the readme
You can specify the options you want to be set by default in the environment variable
JAD_OPTIONS. For example:
JAD_OPTIONS=-ff+ -nonlb+ -t+ -space+ -lnc+

Thank you so much. I tried looking at many websites to learn to use JAD but I feel this explanation provided me to decompile to the best.. thanks again..
