Java Class Editor

zAbbo

Just wanted to know whats the best/cheapest Class file editor around.

I`m trying to open/edit a .class file

Any help appreciated

Something like JBuilder can show you the names of methods and variables. I'm not sure if it shows the modifiers though, can't remember.

You could just write a little java app to do it yourself, it's quite simple. Look for "introspection".

Also I've seen some pretty good Java decompilers, can't remember any names though. Getting into muddy waters there too.

Or do you want to edit the bytecode? I suppose any hex editor would do right?

As far as I can remember Editplus offers context highlighting for Java...
There are also quite a few free or almost free editors around... have a look at IBM's site

NMI's Java Code Viewer is a good one.
