Source Structure

How decompiled source files are organized.

Directory layout

.jackknife/source/
└── com.fasterxml.jackson.core/
    └── jackson-databind-2.20.1/
        └── com/
            └── fasterxml/
                └── jackson/
                    └── databind/
                        ├── ObjectMapper.java
                        ├── JsonNode.java
                        └── ...

• GroupId as a flat directory name (dots preserved, not expanded to subdirectories)
• Artifact-version as a subdirectory
• Package structure preserved underneath, matching the original source layout

Inner classes

Inner classes are decompiled into the same .java file as the outer class. You won’t see separate files for Foo$Bar.class — look in Foo.java.

Vineflower settings

Jackknife uses Vineflower with modern Java support enabled:

• Generic signatures
• Enum support
• Pattern matching
• Switch expressions
• Lambda inlining
