jad files

[imlou]

I used JAD to decompile a .class file and change it to a .jad file so that i could edit it in notepad, how would i now convert it to .class so that that it could be compiled back into my .jar project.
And if this is not possible, could someone direct me toward a program that could convert a .class file into text that is decipherable so that i could edit it and compile it back into my .jar project?

as you can tell i am new to this so please take it easy on flaming the hell out of me.

I have little idea what you're talking about. My only suggestion would be to use and IDE:
Welcome to NetBeans
www.eclipse.org/

You will find it immensely easier to write programs with either of these.

I think you shall check the parameters your passing to JAD.

I remember I used JAD once, and I used to end up with a .jad-file too, but after checking the parameters I came up with solution to output as pure Java-files. I can't remember the parameters anymore, but I think you shall check the parameters, and eventually a tutorial.
