Over the weekend, I discovered JAD, the "Fast Java Decompiler". I set it to work on some ".class" files and I was impressed with the result. I could easily follow the output. When I compared the output to the original ".java" file, they were surprisingly similar.
One caveat, JAD chooses to host it's main site at Tripod, so you might get a "bandwidth usage exceeded" error from time to time.
