comm VS Recaf

We're basically working on this at Comm: https://github.com/CommE2E/comm

Comm | engineering | NYC onsite | https://comm.app

We're a startup based in NYC working on a Web3 Discord alternative. Comm is crypto-native messaging based on federated keyservers.

Our long-term goal is to build an alternative to the centralized application server model that dominates Web2. Sophisticated apps (like Discord) need a backend, but today those backends are controlled by corporations. Our solution is to replace the cloud with a network of personal, private application servers (we call them “keyservers”).

I starting working on Comm earlier this year. I’m a programmer by trade and previously worked at FB for 5 years. We currently have 10 devs actively contributing to our codebase, including 5 here in NYC.

We raised a small pre-seed round in February from some big names and are looking to raise our seed in the next 4 months.

IF you've got the legal situation all sorted out, and know that you need to change a Java class file, and know how to program in Java, I'd suggest Recaf. With it, you can import a jar file, decompile, edit and recompile any source files in it, and export the whole thing again.

No one seems to mention Recaf wich is the best option IMO. You can choose between different decompilers (Fernflower, CFR, Jadx, Procyon and others) has bytecode editing capabilities (you don't have to fully decompile, you can edit the bytecode directly), built in peephole optimizations for flow and number obfuscations, various search options for methods, members, strings, and method virtualization via SSVM

Uhhh, no? For something like JavaFX, which I've complained about its bad native handling before, you can still make a multi-platform jar with a little bit of effort. For instance my project Recaf is distributed as a single JAR file. Just install JDK 11+ and you're good to go.

I did something like this, but its not its own control/library: https://github.com/Col-E/Recaf/blob/dev3/recaf-ui/src/main/java/me/coley/recaf/ui/pane/DiffViewPane.java

The decompiler they used to view that code is not very good, that output is garbled.

If you're going to take apart JVM bytecode, you're better off using Recafe or Quiltflower.

I've recently been searching for tools that can help me find rats within jar files. So far I've found jd-gui and Recaf, do you all have any suggestions for other tools?

Example: DecompilePane.java
