JavaDecompiler - history of changes

v1.1 - 2022-jan-30

• You can now also view (F3) or copy (F5) files with extension “.env” and “.property” as they were text files
  • files with extension “.env” contain the environment variables
  • files with extension “.property” contain the system properties
  • new “environment.env” and “properties.property “ files in the root dir.
• JavaDecompiler 1.1 is now based on Java Plugin Interface v2.3
  • PluginClassLoader was incomplete (missing e.g. findResources implementation). It has now been completed.
• Better exception management when getting/showing elements (e.g. class methods) fails:
  • if an error occurs, an “.exception” file is shown that you can open (F3) to view the detail.
  • other elements (e.g. decompiled class) can still be shown in that case
• Troubleshooting guide linked and main problems enumerated in main README
• Major code restructure - more legible if you are familiar with lambda expressions
  • it now shares a common extended class (ItemsPlugin) with ThousandTypes plugin
• JavaDecompiler is now hosted at Github pages
• Version check (for at least tc-classloader 2.2.0) to avoid javalib problems
  • Refer to: In case you have more than one Java plugin installed
• Source code is now available at Github project
• Logging is updated to SLF4J (previously was based on deprecated Apache commons-logging implementation).
  • Logging now works for Log4j2 via SLF4J.
  • Logging is disabled by default, any logging implementation has been removed from the plugin itself.
  • Documentation about how to configure logging for plugins.
• errormessages.ini: corrected typos on english and german messages, showing some memory dump

v1.0 - 2021-dec-27

• JavaDecompiler is now available at Totalcmd.net
• This plugin allows Total Commander to both decompile and navigate java .class files.
  • It is a packer plugin, meaning you can “enter” these files as archives.
• This plugin “hacks” the TC packer interface so that class files appear to be archives containing all of:
  • a file “classname.java” which you can view (F3) or copy (F5). This java is the decompiled class file.
  • a list of directories representing all the methods, fields, constructors, member classes and interfaces of the class.
  • a couple more directories show the system properties and environment variables.
