a bit of a minor disaster at lunchtime today. i was sent a new jar file to make some of my
latest jdbc work
faster. while integrating it into my current project my pc decided to go
slightly mad and it deleted all of my source code!
i always keep backups but the latest usable version was 3 days old and it has
been a busy three days. luckily a colleague has used dj java decompiler which takes a
class file and extracts the source code from it. it’s not perfect, you lose all
your in-line comments for example, but it has saved me days of re-work to get
everything back to the state it was this morning. i am greatly in their debt.
