I have tried to decompile .class file with JD. BUt i got Strange code in it(Static call to a non static method, Classname.this.method etc.) .
Could you please tell me whether it will give 100 percent source code or not?

No, java decompilers can't give you the exact source code back. Many compiler optimizations will not be reflected back in the generated file.

1And many different source constructions compile to the same bytecode. – user207421 Sep 04 '14 at 06:29

1...not to mention that within the bytecode you cannot tell apart the use of generics from old-style coding with explicit casts. – thkala Sep 04 '14 at 06:35

@thkala Not to mention that that is just an instance of what I just said. – user207421 Sep 04 '14 at 09:43
