How much success is there working on ASP.NET decompiled by Reflector?

I just finished a small project where changes were required to a pre-compiled, but no longer supported, ASP.NET web site. The code was ugly, but it was ugly before it was even compiled, and I'm quite impressed that everything still seems to work fine. It took some editing, e.g. to remove control declarations, as they get put in a gener...

Best free Java .class viewer?

I've used DJ Java Decompiler, which has a handy GUI, but it seems as if the latest version is only a trial and forces you to purchase the software after some period of days (I recall using an earlier free version about a year ago at a previous job).

Is there a program to decompile Delphi?

Someone just sent me a decompile of a program into C. It was a very good decompile, producing nice, mostly readabe C code (if you overlook the fact that none of the variables or functions had a human-readable name) that mostly looked like it would actually compile.
