compile a .class

**mailtosaleh** · 10-11-2007, 01:21 AM

I decompiled a .class file, but when I saved it is was saved as a text file not as a binary .class file,
Is there any soft which I can compile it back to .class?

If you decompiled it of course you got a text file.

You can compile it again with any Java compiler.

Thanks
can you recommend any free compiler?

The official Sun Microsystems one will work; there're also ECJ (the Eclipse Compiler for Java) and GCJ (the GNU Compiler for Java), as well as a small host of others.
