Solved Need Help, Lost My Source Code, Only have a .jar file

So I wiped my computer the other day and I thought I saved the code to a plugin I was working on, but apparently not. I only have the .jar I made when testing the plugin out, is there a way I can get my code back from the .jar file?

 

Did u lock it when u compiled it? then u might have the .java files

 

Jd gui decompile it.

 

Alright, but before I go through that I just wanna make sure I did lose the source, I copied my work space folder over assuming that was where everything was saved, then when I re-installed eclipse and selected the copied folder as the current work space folder none of my pervious code was present. Do I have to do something like import it? Or is it lost and should I use Jd gui

 

Is the project still in your workspace folder? If it is, open Eclipse, press "File", "Import", select "Existing Projects into Workspace" and then press next and browse to your project's folder.

 

After you get them restored you should use git or svn. Most bukkit stuff I see uses git. Makes rolling back mistakes easier also. With java its easy to get your source anyways if that's why you didn't want to post it on GitHub.

I have formatted my hard drive and forgot to make a copy of my c++/c# code and that's much harder to get back if at all.

 

I got it back, had to use Jd gui, thanks for the help guys.
