Decompiling Help

[TheCrystalStar]

Hey so I am trying to decompile a plugin. But every time I use jdgui and save all the sources and open them in eclipse and add all the missing jars everything breaks and compile I get tons of errors ex chatColor.RED + chatColor.Blue + ""; (example and a bunch of other things) but I don't get how it works when I don't decompile it and just drag it into my plugins folder. I didn't even change any of the code at all I just exported it and stuff and loaded but it was giving errors.

Can some one decompile it for me and open in eclipse and get the errors out for me :/ and just send me a .zip of the decompiled version (Src basically).

And yes I did get permission to decompile the the plugin from the author. I can show you a screen shot of the msg on spigotmc but if your gonna help me for free :/

The plugin is https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/randompackage.12165/

Its "RandomArmorEffects" I don't know if I have permission for the others since I just asked for RandomArmorEffects

Thx guys hope someone can do it for me

As far as I know, decompiling doesn't give you the complete source. It only gives you a glimpse of what the real source might look like, but usually trying to compile from the JDgui output will give errors.

See if the developer of the plugin has released the source publicly on Github. Many developers do. If not, you can always ask him if he would.

Kk thx I'll try that

This site has several different decompilers. sometimes you can use several different ones, and grab the class files from each one that does it best to get a working codebase.

I typically recommend not decompiling a plugin for the sake of re-use. If they don't have the source code out and about, it's most likely not intended to be used. Likewise, making a plugin from the decompiled mess is usually a bad idea, if you want a plugin similar to it, either use that one or get one developed.
edit: I re-read and you said you got permission to decompile it. Why not just ask him for the source code if he's fine with you using it?

I did he said just to use a decompiler to get a source code @)@
