Java Class Viewer

Java Class Viewer provides a very simple yet pretty helpful application software to quickly and easily inspect Java Class files as well as Java archives (JAR). With Java Class Viewer, you can load up a JAR file and view all the containing classes within and then open them up as well.

For starters, Java classes comprise bytecode that can be carried out on the JVM (java Virtual Machine). The Java compiler is the responsible application software for the creation of Java class files. It uses the available Java source files consisting of Java classes in order to generate them and whenever several classes are found within the source code, the compiler produce the same number of Java class files.

The Java Class Viewer computer program does not pack a grandiose graphical user interface, as it is built in Java and everything here is about functionality rather than looks. The application allows you to open both JAR and CLASS files and you can rapidly filter them by selecting the file type within the ‘Open’ window. As soon as you load up a Java class, the GUI presents two panels, one for the contents and the other for the bytecode of the selected content.

Java Class Viewer is a rather nifty piece of software that does exactly what it is supposed to. While it does not bring any beauty on the computer screen, it surely gets the job done. Targeting novice users that start to work with Java, the Java Class Viewer can be perceived as useless by more experienced Java programmers.
