I use Class.forName("classname") to get a Class object, I want to convert to Class object to String, which means decompile the java file, and show this string to GUI.
How can I do? Thanks

Do you mean you want to see the source code of the original class? Or just the internal string value of the class object? – Guillaume Jun 13 '12 at 09:12

@Guillaume I mean the source code of the original class, decompile the class. – JerryCai Jun 13 '12 at 09:16

Java won't decompile classes for you - you need a separate decompiler for that. Try this one, which was suggested by this answer.

thanks for your tool, I know there are many stand-alone tools for decompiling. I was wondering is there exists a jar or something I can use in my program to decompile the class? – JerryCai Jun 13 '12 at 09:24

@JerryCai: To my knowledge, the standard Java API doesn't provide anything like that; however, there may be third-party libraries for decompilation. – Aasmund Eldhuset Jun 13 '12 at 10:24
