pls, what's command in shell to view src code of a compiled class? I
have a class that's giving me an extra ("__$1.class") when I compile,
even though I don't have any inner classes inside class... I would like
to know what's inside this __$1.class... thank you..

Do you have any code like

addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
...
});

The $1 etc. classes are synthesized nested anonymous classes generated
from stuff like that. But they can be hard to notice sometimes simply
because they're "inline" in the source code.

Other than that, try e.g.

javap -c -classpath whatever __.1

to disassemble it.

Thank you very much.. no, I don't have the ActionListener code you
mention.. but I do have this:

public void start() {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {

I think this is what's doing it.. (this is for a signed applet, and on
this '$' class get error that "__$1's signer's ID is wrong" or something
like that, when in fact this class is signed (and jarred) the same as
other classes..) also get a thread error.. (I don't get threads,
threads are driving me nuts..)

thanks again.. Frances

this defines a new class without a name that implements Runnable with
a run method defined in a new way. Since it has not get a name, Javac
makes one up e.g. $1

you want a decompiler or disassembler. See

When you peek, you will discover that code is for anonymous inner
classes.
