NBJAD (simple integration with Jad decompiler) module uploaded

I have uploaded the NBJAD Module to my Netbeans update center described here.

This module integrates the popular Jad Decompiler with the Netbeans IDE. This module provides the following action:

Action	Key binding
Decompile	Ctrl-F9

How to configure Jad

How it works

jad -o -r -s .java -d <user.home>/.nbjad [additional jad options] .class-file

where:
-o - overwrite the output files
-r - create folder structure consistent with package specified in the .class file
-s - suffix for output files i.e. .java. This trick makes the Netbeans Java editor simply work.
-d - output directory. This can be overridden with the System property
     "org.netbeans.modules.java.tools.nbjad.output.directory"

The output window shows the status of decompilation. Decompile action in the pop up menu is not available on the .class files inside a jar file. However View:Decompile action can still be used.

If the .class file is inside a jar file it is first copied to the disk under the System.getProperty("user.home") + File.separator + ".nbjad" folder. The copied file is marked for deletion on vm exit.

The decompiled .java file is output to a folder, consistent with the package specified in the .class, under the System.getProperty("user.home") + File.separator + ".nbjad". folder. The output .java file is opened in a Netbeans Java Editor tab.

The following additonal options can be specified:

TODO

• Open decompiled files in read-only mode
• Add action to clean up all decompiled files
• Add decompilation output folder to the Favorites - DONE. This way you can easily get back to previously decompiled files.
