JD-Eclipse(0.1.3) does not work in Eclipse 3.7 - Indigo on windows 7 64 bit

Question

On my pc I cannot get jd-eclipse working , when I click on a class file I just get the standard class file editor saying source not found - I have checked the eclipse error logs and there is nothing!.

My environment is Win7 64 bits, jdk-1.7.0, Eclipse 3.7 (Indigo), JD_Eclipse(0.1.3) , its a real shame as I have used jd-eclipse before on another pc and it workedany ideas anyone ?

Have a look at the accepted answer of #4512566. Mostly I make the mistake to open classes in an eclipse project that are not yet properly added to the classpath of the project. – Dube

Answer 1

After having installed the JD-Eclipse plugin, a new entry appears in Preferences->General->Editors->File Associations when you select *.class

Make sure Class File Editor is marked as default

Worked for me under Ubuntu, eclipse 3.7.1. – Var

JD-Eclipse 0.1.3 worked for me under Eclipse 3.7 Indigo running on Windows 7 64 bits (the same of OP's conditions). – Boyle

I meant that this solution worked for me! :) Thanks, Thierry Hermann. – Boyle

Do the same for "*.class without source" – Rozalin

after doing this, those jars with source code attached are also de-compiled rather than using the source code; this is unwanted... I tried to make class file viewer as default and then with class file editor, but it will not de-compile.... i'm using win 7 32 bit, eclipse 3.7 sr2 and jd elipse 0.1.3 – Rieth

I have 2 editors listed: Class File Viewer [Decompiled] & Class File Viewer. Anyone know the difference? – Complete

Answer 2

To get this working in Eclipse Juno, I had to go to Preferences->General->Editors->File Associations and under "*.class without source" I had to go to "Add..." and select Class File Editor.

thanks!! also, you need to mark the Class File Editor as default or else it won't work (at least for me!) – Eponymous
