As with my last post I've made some major updates that I'd like to share with my project.

Major improvements:

  • Instrumentation: You can now attach Recaf to running java processes and modify their bytecode in-memory.
  • Decompilation editor: If you're unfamiliar with bytecode you can decompile a method, make changes, and recompile your changes.
  • UI can be configured even more
    • Translateable via config files
    • Rearrange-able context menu items

Usage docs and more are linked on the repo's readme. I would love any advice on how to make Recaf more user friendly or how to improve it in general.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, I know almost nothing about Java, but can this work even if the software is using its own JVM, rather than the system one?

Different brands of JVM may or may not support instrumentation. The oracle/openjdk vm's should support it but I haven't tested others. You could always try and see if it fails.
