Tool

JD-Eclipse

JD-Eclipse is an Eclipse plug-in that shows Java source for class files during debugging. ./gradlew build writes build/distributions/jd-eclipse-x.y.z.zip. Eclipse installs it from Help, Install New Software, by dropping that zip onto the dialog. The default association for a class file without source is JD Class File Viewer. Preferences live under Java, Decompiler.
