Is there something equivalent or similar to Jad/JadClipse for Scala? It would be nice to be able to view the source for Lift from within Eclipse via "Open Declaration".

1Why do you need Jad for this? You can just attach Lift sources to jar. – tenshi Feb 03 '11 at 20:03

This has been giving me trouble. Possibly because I already have Jad installed. Right now I've just been using "mvn dependency:sources" to grab all the source jars and view them manually. Perhaps that is the best option for now. – Taylor Leese Feb 03 '11 at 20:39

I find it's the best option :) A little advice: it it's not working/too boring/takes too much time in eclipse - migrate to IDEA. It will make all this boring stuff for you – tenshi Feb 03 '11 at 20:53

I don't know of any decompiler, but I think what you want to do just attach the source to the jar containing classes.
Just right-click on the lift-jar in the package explorer and choose properties. There you can specify a source location. I believe that an attached source location will override an installed jad-plugin.
If you're using maven and m2eclipse, you can simply right-click the lift-dep. -> Maven -> download sources. That will download the -sources.jar and automatically attach.

Reading the comments under the question, I suddenly remembered I might have had similar problems. I think it might be the case that you have to uninstall the jadclipse-plugin if it doesn't honor an attached source location. – Viktor Hedefalk Feb 04 '11 at 10:39

I man not sure you could get back the exact scala source, but at least you could try and see what the nsc bytecode looks like in Java.
This thread mentions (not tested myself) the Soot Eclipse plugin.
So I might settle on the Eclipse plugin for Soot, which can for example display bytecode using the Grimp notation (well, the following screenshot shows Jimple, but conveys the idea):
