java - Extract scala source code from jar

Question

So I have a jar file that contains scala as the source code and I have lost the original code. Is there a way to convert the class files in the jar to scala functions and classes instead of the java classes the compiler makes?

I have tried using a decompiler on it and it only gives me the java code that makes zero sense.

Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

You'd need a Scala-specific decompiler. There is no reason one couldn't be written, but it would be a large effort and so far as I know nobody has actually done it. Of course, it wouldn't produce exactly the original code, just as decompilers for other languages don't.
