Well, I guess subject says it all :)
The ideal solution would find all jars within a certain folder (they might be in sub-folders), and write all the sources found into a single "src" directory, of course maintaing the package folders.
Concrete use case: decompile all Eclipse plugin jars
Download JAD Decompiler.
Unjar all your jar files (using the command jar xvf
) to some directory. Let's call this ${unjar.dir}
.
Create a directory for JAD to write out the decompiled sources. Let's call this ${target.dir}
.
Execute the following command:
jad -o -r -sjava -d${target.dir} ${unjar.dir}/**/*.class
options are:
-o - overwrite output files without confirmation
-r - restore package directory structure
-s <ext> - output file extension (default: .jad)

Decompile eclipse plugins??
Apart from the existence of a technical solution - (1) you can get all source files for the (official) eclipse plugins as bundles and (2) don't expect that the decompiler results will compile or can be used to debug the code.
So if you want to study the source of eclipse and it's plugins, decompiling is .. say .. not the best idea.
I wrote a tool names code-collection
using shell script
and cfr
to find
and decompile
all jar
, war
files at once.
After decompiling jar, war files, you could use my tool to find and copy all specific files (.js
, .html
for example) to a new directory.

The Windows equivalent command for this would be:
jad -o -r -sjava -d "target.dir" "unjar.dir/**/*.class"
