title: how can I edit a Java application using .CLASS files
body: <p>I've been trying to edit the <code>.CLASS</code> files inside this program using <code>.jar</code> containers, and a <code>.bat</code> file to launch it.</p>
  
  <p>I'm not familiar with Java, and I've tried Java decompilers but they don't let me edit the source, only copy it. I don't seem to have a program that can actually correctly save and encode it.</p>
  
  <p>What's the best option here to easily edit this Java program's <code>.CLASS</code> files?</p>
  
  <p>Edit: To everyone who's enjoying downrepping this, the program is open source and permits modifications. So thank you for all the blame flinging about it being illegal.</p>
