Can we create .java file using javap dissembler

Question

Can we regenerate .java file from .class file using javap tool of jdk?

I used javap classsfile command, it just prints .java file with data member and member functions declaration.

If not then what are the appropriate methods to accomplish it...

Note that you will be able to see some code but there is no guarantee that it will be same as original. — DominikM, Oct 18 '13 at 08:08

you cannot create complete .java file from javap tool. javap tool only returns methods and members in class file.

you can use jad tool to decompile java code. but it also have limitations with code versions.
