Go to Preference --> Java --> Jadclipse

Set the path to decompiler to the location of your jad.exe and point the temp file directory to something like c:\temp (make sure you create this directory)

Didn't work for me. It adds a directory with a bunch of numbers and says it can't reach it. When I create that directory in the FS it shows the same message. If I restart eclipse it picks a new numbers directory. I also tried adding my name to the jad.exe. – micahhoover Jun 11 '19 at 14:48

You can make "C:\Documents and Settings\Sai.net.sf.jadclipse\1321168101468" directory to solve this problem.

Even I have also faced the same problem. You can use an alternative de-compiler mentioned below. It works perfect in eclipse

Download the archive with jad.exe from http://varaneckas.com/jad/ for your OS
Extract in a specific folder
Go to Window > Preferences > Java > JadClipse and fill the path to decompile with the path where you extracted the archive
Restart your eclipse.

I encountered the same error: jadclipse

 DECOMPILATION REPORT
 Decompiled from: D:\nnn\nnnn\lib\nnn3.1.1.jar
 Total time: 0 ms
 Jad reported messages/errors:
 Exit status: 0
 Caught exceptions:
java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "c:\jad" (in directory "C:\jad\1490924748657"): 
         CreateProcess error=5, Access is denied

To solve it I did the following steps:

Added my windows profile as the owner of the jad.exe. I was already admin on my machine but doing only this did not solve the problem.

jad.exe > right click > Properties > security > advanced > owner tab > change owner to > my windows profile
Restart eclipse. Tried debugging again and the problem is solved.
