= JD-IntelliJ

JD-IntelliJ is a plug-in for IntelliJ IDEA, initiated by Brice Dutheil. It uses the Java Decompiler binaries It allows you to display all the Java sources during your debugging process, even if you do not have them all. Currently, the project is under development. The Java sources are hosted on link:java.decompiler.free.fr/?q=jdintellij[Bitbucket].

Your contributions are welcome.

Also note that it is possible to decompile jars/classes with JD-GUI (can be found on the official site).

== Warning

This plugin is currently partly maintained, due to lack of time and the availability of a decompiler within https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/features/#built-in-tools[IntelliJ IDEA itself] (even the https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/features/editions_comparison_matrix.html[community version]).

Intellij has it own decompiler Fernflower. See here: https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community/tree/master/plugins/java-decompiler

== Notes

It is the official http://jd.benow.ca/[*Java Decompiler*] plugin for IntelliJ IDEA. The plugin should work from IntelliJ IDEA 2018.3.x to the latest stable version .

Last but not the least, all the credit for decompilation stuff must go to Emmanuel Dupuy, who is the author of Java Decompiler.

.First steps

Note that the source code is compiled against the IntelliJ 11 API, the JetBrains introduced a few backward incompatible changes in later versions that would require changes and incompatibilities for earlier verison of IntelliJ. In order to maintain this compitibility for the time being the plugin will still be compiled against IntelliJ 2019.2 (which can be found http://devnet.jetbrains.com/docs/DOC-1228[here]).
