Re: Java Decompiler..

It is my understanding and experience that Java classes (since they use String-based reflection) contain a description of all classes, methods, and member variables. My experience has also shown that they contain local-scoped variable names, though I see no reason this would always be the case. Of course, when the JIT runs, it doesn't include this information unless you're doing a lot of reflection.

If you could give me a class file that does not contain this information, I would appreciate it as it would help me to learn more about compilers.
