HelloWorld Example

/* HelloWorld.java */

public class HelloWorld {
  
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println("Hello World!");    
  }
}

 

> javac HelloWorld.java
  --> HelloWorld.class
> java ClassFileAnalyzer HelloWorld.class

 

The following code is generated by ClassFileAnalyzer from the class file HelloWorld.class:

Usage

java -jar classfileanalyzer.jar [options] [<jarfile>] <classfile>

java ClassFileAnalyzer [options] [<jarfile>] <classfile>
java Can [options] [<jarfile>] <classfile>

classfile:
  Java class file to be disassembled.

jarfile:
  Java Archive (JAR) file, which includes the Java class file to be
  disassembled (optional).

options:
  -version
    Print version information.
  -file
    Generate file in actual directory with assembler source text.
  -info
    Print additional informations, e.g. hexdump of classfile.
  -nopc
    Omit pc label before mnemonic.
  -help, -?
    Print usage message.

 

Notes:

Download and install Java SE: Java SE Downloads

  • Execute ClassFileAnalyzer encapsulated in the JAR file classfileanalyzer.jar:

        java -jar classfileanalyzer.jar HelloWorld.class
  • If classfileanalyzer.jar is already in the classpath:

        java ClassFileAnalyzer HelloWorld.class

    Examples for using the classpath (modify path to JAR file classfileanalyzer.jar):

        java -classpath classfileanalyzer.jar ClassFileAnalyzer HelloWorld.class
        set CLASSPATH=classfileanalyzer.jar
        java ClassFileAnalyzer HelloWorld.class

    (The setting of the CLASSPATH environment variable depends on your operating system. Windows: It can be set using the System utility in the Control Panel.)

  • Copy classfileanalyzer.jar in the directory (optional package, extension mechanism):

        lib/ext    [in the JRE]

    Classes within JAR files in this directory can then be used by applications, without having to explicitly include them in the classpath:

        java ClassFileAnalyzer HellowWorld.class

Example: Disassemble classfileanalyzer/ClassFile.class

java ClassFileAnalyzer c:/classfileanalyzer.jar classfileanalyzer/ClassFile.class

Mapping: Attributes - Directives

  Attribute Directive
1. ConstantValue (.field)
2. Code (.limit stack, .limit locals, .catch)
3. StackMapTable .stack
4. Exceptions .throws
5. InnerClasses .inner class, .inner interface
6. EnclosingMethod .enclosing method
7. Synthetic *  
8. Signature .signature
9. SourceFile .source
10. SourceDebugExtension .debug
11. LineNumberTable .line
12. LocalVariableTable .var
13. LocalVariableTypeTable .var
14. Deprecated .deprecated
15. RuntimeVisibleAnnotations .annotation visible
16. RuntimeInvisibleAnnotations .annotation invisible
17. RuntimeVisibleParamterAnnotations .annotation visibleparam
18. RuntimeInvisibleParameterAnnotations .annotation invisibleparam
19. AnnotationDefault .annotation default

* A class, field or method that does not appear in the source code (it was generated by the compiler/assembler) must be marked using a Synthetic attribute, or else it must have its ACC_SYNTHETIC bit set. The only exceptions to this requirement are for default constructors and the class initialization method. The Synthetic attribute was originally introduced in JDK 1.1 to support nested classes (nested interfaces). Example: .field private static final synthetic $VALUES ... (TestCanRuntimeInvisibleAnnotations2)
