Decompilers exist, but you'd have to google around (for "java decompiler"),
download one, install it, spend some time getting familiar with it, etc.
And after you were done, you'd have only the .java files - you'd still have
to recreate the IDE project, ant file, or whatever other build environment
you used for it.

You'd be just as well off doing the four-hour rewrite, IMHO.
