How to retrieve source code for the deployed java plugins in RTC?
Hi Team,
I'm facing a challenge with some custom RTC follow-up action server-side plugins deployed in one of our projects. These plugins were originally developed around 2020, and unfortunately, the original developers are no longer with the company. We need to modify these plugins, but we're unable to locate the original source code.
We do have access to the deployed site.ini files (which identify the plugin JARs) and the JAR files themselves.
I'm investigating options for recovering the source code from these artifacts. Specifically:
1. Are there recommended techniques for extracting information about the original source control repository or build process from the site.ini files?
2. What are the best Java decompiler tools for reverse-engineering these RTC plugins, considering potential issues with code clarity and maintainability after decompilation?
3. Are there any known pitfalls or best practices when decompiling and modifying RTC plugins? (e.g., potential compatibility issues, things to look out for in the decompiled code)
Any insights or experiences you can share would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
