how to decompile multiple JAR files

Question

I need to decompile about 1000 jar files. Single jar files can open with JD-GUI, but I read help (JD-GUI) and don't understand how can write script for decompiling multiple JAR files.

Can you give this decompiler a path to the JAR you need? – roeygol Jan 13 '15 at 10:43 — roeygol, Jan 13 '15 at 10:43

Find a decompiler which can make your job using from cmd command, then gather all your JAR files in some folder.
The next step is to build a minimum java program which takes them all and using this cmd above by executing it to some other folder.

There is a Java code for executing exe files same as manual command line.

You can write a script to unpack all the jar into one directory structure and re-pack it as a single JAR.

Or you can write a script to decompile all the JAR assuming the decompiler has a command line interface.

BTW JD-GUI wraps a command line interface decompiler. It doesn't do the decompiling itself.
