Functions and features
ContentsBased on the menubar, all the functions of NMI's Java Code Viewer will be discussed. When a button corresponds with a specific menu-item, the image of the particular button will be displayed.
The File menu- Open...
Lets you select a directory from a file dialog in order to open all its class files. - Open jar archive
Opens a file dialog for selecting a .jar archive. The selected archive will be extracted automatically. A dialog will let you browse through the extracted Java class files in order to select and process them. - Open zip archive
This is the same function as Open jar archive, only this time for extracting a .zip archive. - Decompile
Starts the decompilation process of all the selected class files in the Java class files list. - Disassemble
Starts the disassembly process of all the selected class files in the Java class files list. - Create log
Will log all the console messages of the current session into a file called log.txt. This file will be generated in program root of NJCV, overwriting a possible previously generated log file. The newly created log file will automatically be opened in your editor. Click here to open your latest log file. - Show log
Will open the most recent log file in your editor. - Quit
Exits NMI's Java Code Viewer. It will show a dialog window with statistics on the number of succesfully processed Java classes.
