for your options see http://mindprod.com/jgloss/decompiler.html

Which version of JAD are you using ?  I find 1.5.8f works perfectly well for my
applications, but of course -- like any decompiler -- it can get confused,
especially when the compiler(s) it targets is(are) updated more often than it
is itself.

You could give SourceAgain a try:

Commercial, but there is a web-based evaluation facility.  It still talks about
1.3 so I doubt if it's under very active development, but FWIW it did do a
somewhat better job of converting the appended code (compiled with JDK1.5,
default options) than JAD 1.5.8f.

You might also look at Soot, which includes decompilation facilities:

Just don't expect any decompiler to work perfectly...
