Ratchet & Clank: Going Mobile: output-matched Java reconstruction

Ratchet & Clank: Going Mobile reconstructs ten Java classes for game version 1.1.0. Its pipeline compiles with Sun javac 1.4.1, runs ProGuard 3.2 and WTK 2.2 preverification, then compares methods and class files with retail output; the author reports exact matches for all ten classes.
