    I had a hard time to get this to work, so i think this may save you some time. Here goes:

    Where to get it?
    1. Download the decompiler jad.exe: http://www.varaneckas.com/sites/default/files/jad/jad158g.win.zip
    2. Download the jadclipse plug-in: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/jadclipse/net.sf.jadclipse_3.3.0.jar?download
    (Or use any other download link)
    3. have a look at the JadClipse official website: http://sourceforge.net/projects/jadclipse/

    Installation
    1. Copy jad.exe somewhere on your system – for example c:\Developer\Decompiler\jad
    2. Go to the MyEclipse 8.5 installation directory – on my system, this is “c:\Programs\Genuitec\Profiles\MyEclipse 8.5”
    3. Enter the dropins – subfolder.
    4. create a directory named “eclipse” and below that, create the directories “plugins” and “features”
    5. copy the file you downloaded (net.sf.jadclipse_3.3.0.jar) into the plugins directory
    6. Enter the newly created “features” directory and create the subdirectory “net.sf.jadclipse_3.3.0”
    7. This might perhaps not be necessary – but anyway:: we create a feature.xml for jadclipse from scratch.: paste the following xml fragment into a file named feature.xml and save that file in the folder you just created:
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
    <feature
    id=”net.sf.jadclipse”
    label=”JadClipse Feature”
    version=”3.3.0″
    provider-name=”net.sf”>
    <url>
    <update label=”JadClipse 3.3 Update Site” url=”http://webobjects.mdimension.com/jadclipse/3.3″/&gt;
    </url>
    <plugin id=”net.sf.jadclipse”
    download-size=”0″
    install-size=”0″
    version=”3.3.0″
    unpack=”false”/>
    </feature>
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    8. Create a directory named “META-INF” below your current folder and put a file named “MANIFEST.MF” in there. The contents of the manifest file do not matter.
    9. Restart MyEclipse and configure the jadclipse plug-in, setting the path to jad.exe. Don’t forget setting the file association for .class files to jadClipse.
    10. For me, this works. You might even be able to get this going without the stuff in the features directory – but why bother.

    Hi. I tried the below without luck..

    I tried using the update site, and the method mentioned in the post below, by putting information in the dropins directory.

    both times myeclipse prompted me for a login for jadclipse.sf.net.

    I don’t have a login. I did put in my sourceforge login which didn’t work.
    wondering how to get around this?
    thanks
    Jeff

    Hmm – I’m not really sure why you need an authentification (i don’t), but the solution is simple. Use another url in the feature.xml – for example this:

    <url>
    <update label=”JadClipse 3.3 Update Site” url=”http://webobjects.mdimension.com/jadclipse/3.3″/&gt;
    </url>

    Did that help?

    I kind of ended up just using the other URL (http://webobjects.mdimension.com/jadclipse/3.3) as the update site and it eventually allowed me to install the plugin.
    Kind of weird about the authentication. I’m behind a firewall, and maybe some cryptic internet setting somewhere is causing it to be requested.

    Up and running now, thanks.
