Hey, I'm new here and all so sorry if this has already been asked or I'm posting in the wrong forum or if the dog I just ran over belonged to somebody here...

I just wanted to know is there a quick and easy class editor program that I can use to make a small modification to a certain jar file I found? I know asking this is like someone asking "How do I invent something?", I know I'm probably just gonna look into that class file and not understand a single line but I've read and understood some complicated codes in my life and I might find my way through, I just need to edit some small stuff in this game I've been looking for for ages and recently found it but it's foreign and there are a few bugs in it and I think I might have an idea how to fix them...

I promise I have no intention to change any of the credits or game ownership or anything, I won't even touch the name of the original maker, I just want to translate all those "Start" "Options" "Exit" buttons and try to fix this bug with the progress saving file...

Oh and one last thing, to save the file in a jar file I heard it can be done by simply saving it as zip and changing the extension, is that true?

Only way is to decompile the java file then open up the .java file in an editor such as notepad. Once you have made your changes you will have to recompile the java file.

.class files are the binary files and not the actual source code, unless you're a machine i doubt you'll understand them.

Alternatively you will have to contact the owner and ask them for the source.

If you're after an IDE i use eclipse with the J2ME plug in.
