*.class

[lai918]

What kind of program can I use to edit this kind of files? Something dealing with JAVA

I tried opening one in Notepad.exe, then Quikview.exe. Mostly jibberish, but some Javascript is apparent. Pure Javascript will be in a .js file, so a .class file is probably compiled or encoded script. Not much you can do w/a .class file. IExplorer uses them when executing Java, but can't open them directly.

*.class is a file that contains the compiled bytecode. Bytecode is what makes java platform independant so it should look relatively ugly. The readable java code (eg. System.out.println("blah") http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif is stored in the *.java file.
To read the *.class file you need a java IDE.

Hope that helps http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

i've actually heard that there are ways to "reverse engineer" bytecode so that you can see the actual code.

I don't know where to get the software to do it, or even how well it works, but I believe that it is out there...
