I just did a really stupid thing and deleted my source files for a recent
project - luckily I have the class files but now I need to get them
decompiled. I just tried DJ Java Decompiler but it hasnt worked very
well, there is still a lot of work to do to get the files working. Does
anybody know of a good decompiler that might work for this? I have
approximately 30 class files which form approximately 18 java files.

Have you considered undelete utilities? Note that the more disk
activity that you cause to happen on the harddrive which contain the
delete file, the less likely the undelete utilities can recover your
files.

If you have a spare harddrive, I'd recommend making an image or clone
of your disk. Then, mount the cloned image in read-only mode, and run your
undelete utilities against that image.

That was the first thing I tried - it recovered a few files, but they were
all corrupt :-( I have a backup from January and admittedly I havent dont
much to the source since then but I thought it was considerable enough to
try and get the latest source back form compiled files.
