DJ Java Decompiler for Windows

User Reviews

• Malware BEWARE!

  JustAnotherDeveloper2/7/2014

  Pros

  I might have given it a try if it wasn't bundled with Malware. I am wondering who submitted those 5 stars comments. I'd give it 0 if I could.

  Cons

  Bundled with Malware!

  Summary

  Downloaded and install this last night. Malwares were bundled with this download. Spend hours to remove the malware. I might need to re-image my computer. I should have read "Bloatware ruins product. BEWARE" comment. As that comment has said, it is not only just Bloatware, it is bundled with Malware. It would have saved me a lot of time and pain. I will never download anything from CNET again.

• DJ is the best java decompiler of all time.

  roger799/27/2013

  Pros

  It works much better than any other decompiler. It takes only a few mouse clicks to get the application up and running.

  Cons

  I haven't experienced any glitches with DJ Java Decompiler.

  Summary

  For those who left the negative review: All files (incl. the Installer) are digitally signed with VeriSign (Symantec) Digital ID.

• Bloatware ruins product. BEWARE

  pandano8/27/2013

  Pros

  The decompiler worked well.

  Cons

  Installed a bunch of bloatware sneakily during installation that is difficult to remove. Good job developers.

  Summary

  I would have purchased this program because it fits my needs. But screwing up my development environment is infuriating... thanks Atanas Neshkov. DO NOT USE THIS. It is ridiculous that apps can do this and I will never download something from CNET again.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Aug 30, 2013<p/>Malware not "bloatware". It crashed my computer and destroyed my Windows 7 installation. Do not download this.

• Lifesaver!

  silvermoonstar310/22/2011

  Pros

  Decompiled my exact code

  Cons

  None. There was no problem at all.

  Summary

  I accidentally lost my .java file (due to a weird dropbox glitch) after I had already compiled and tested it. I needed to turn it in for homework ASAP. This wonderful program brought back my whole file, comments and all. I was worried it wouldn't when a post online said it would get "some" of the file back. It was complete. Run on Windows 7 Ultimate x64.

• Works perfectly!

  cmbarnes1310/7/2011

  Pros

  Free trial works perfectly. Win7-64 gave me no trouble with it. I can only assume people that had trouble with it are not full admins on their machines... perhaps in a corporate lock-down environment? Anyway, not a single problem for me.

  Cons

  None so far.

  Summary

  Does exactly what is says it does, and does it well. It's fast, too. I will be buying a full license for this.

• Absolutely Amazing

  alikatstevens8/6/2011

  Pros

  great GUI layout, perfect code recovery.

  Cons

  apparently its not free any more (if it ever was).

  Summary

  This is by far the best java decompiler I have ever used. The free trial totally works. If you have troubles, its 100% operator error.

• "DJ Java Decompiler was not activated on your system."

  iakovosian4/30/2011

  Pros

  Unknown - see below.

  Cons

  Will not allow access - even to the 'free trial' - without a valid (and purchased) serial number to first activate the software license.

  Summary

  Whether the software itself is good or not, I shall never know. I am not willing to blindly pay for a full version when I am also being denied a supposedly available free trial period. For this reason, I have given a 1 star rating.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Apr 30, 2011<p/>Turns out, the free trial can be activated by specifically running the program as an administrator. This is not immediately apparent anywhere and may well not occur to most people - thereby forcing them to make the payment or look elsewhere. My 1 star rating remains because of this, though the software itself does the job pretty well.

• Software wants to contact base b4 allowing you to try

  bio611/4/2010

  Pros

  Non, software is adamant that it contact its developer before you can try it

  Cons

  I don't like applications that demand that you allow it to contact its developer before it allows you to proceed. Too bad, who knows what it is trying to send about your computer, I uninstalled it before trying.

  Summary

  Some people don't mind allowing applications to freely contact their developers, others like me, set up their firewall to prevent unknown applications access to the internet.

• requires payment on Win7 64bit no trial =won't buy

  farkle9910/10/2010

  Pros

  Not a lot, offers a free 10 day trial but doesn't deliver

  Cons

  Requires payment before being able to use it despite saying free trial, obviously won't buy it now.

  Summary

  Requires payment before being able to use it despite saying free trial, obviously won't buy it now.

• Great. Don't listen to NEGATIVE review, because..

  white-tulip9/26/2010

  Pros

  Easy to use. Free trial is available. No need to pay anything at all~ Now i can do my work from the .class file i got... lol

  Cons

  don't see any so far lol

  Summary

  Great. For those who left NEGATIVE review, they just don't know how to use/install it. Actually it is very easy, you don't have to do anything more than installing the program. If you have problems, that means, 1. You are using College/University's computers that prevent student to install things. 2. You or your family/friends set you as a USER at the computer you are using. 3 Anything else should be related to your computer setting rather than the program itself!... lol
