Hello,

Just a quick mail to inform you that I have released tinapoc 0.2 alpha. This 
release includes a working version of the class file disassembler. It can be 
found at http://tinapoc.sourceforge.net (there is also the Meaning of 
tinapoc ;).

The disassembler now works as follows :

    >java dejasmin --help
    Usage : java dejasmin [options] <classfile>
    List of normal options :
      --printcp or -p : print the constant pool
      --warmode or -w : enable warmode
      --help or -h : prints this help message

    List of warmode options :
      --printoffsets or -o : print offsets for some entries in the class 
file
      --noexitonerror or -n : try to continue class file parsing after an 
error
      --donttranslate or -d : don't try to produce Jasmin output
      --nocp or -c : don't print the constant pool

    The target must be a classfile, such as Test.class


The normal mode is a classic disassembler option (moderately low level). The 
class file must be well formed, as it has to be parsed before any output can 
be produced. In this case, Jasmin output is produced (I used a class 
provided in the ByteCode Engineering Library, from the Apache Foundation). 
It is also possible to print the content of the constant pool as Jasmin 
comments with the --printcp option.

The warmode is different, the approach is :
    while(there are more bytes) {
        read one byte
        print what it means.
    }

Well, this is not exactly true but it gives a rough idea of what it's 
actually doing :)
I know of no other disassembler with this kind of feature (and this is the 
reason why I wrote it myself !).

Sincerely,
Daniel
