Thanks for the links to decompiler sources. Does it bother
you that the outputs from the DJ Java Decompiler cannot
be compiled? For example, if one decompiles a Java class
that uses enum, you can't compile the Java code. Right off the
bat you're nixed by the compiler because the decompiled
code explicitly extends Enum. There are numerous other
no-no's in the decompiled code. The decompiled code looks
VASTLY different from the original Java source. It appears
that the Java compiler has very different rules for itself and
for us. It's illuminating (if troubling to me) to peruse the
decompiled code and compare it to the original Java code.

My, you're busy nowadays. Are you taking bupropion?
