First install the plugin JarEditor from marketplace, IDEA at least version2020.3

After installation , you can see a tab page to switch to Jar Editor in the .class decompiled file.

External jar : File->Project Structure->Libraries->Add Library , then you can see the decompiled jar.
Nested jar : Right click on nested jar->JarEditor->Structure->Expand Nested Jar

After modification, clickSave(Compile) to compile and save the currently modified java content.

Finally clickBuild Jar to write the compiled and saved class file into the Jar package.

Modifying the resource files in the jar package is also supported.

Here is an example:

For obfuscated jars, the decompilation result is not satisfactory. In this case, you can use tools to directly modify the bytecode.Click theClass bytes tool icon to select the tool

• Javassist : Field/method/constructor/static code can be modified/added/deleted (include inner class)

• Visual ClassBytes : Class bytecode editor,based on ASM and BCEL

In the project view of the jar package, right-click to seeJarEditor->New/Delete and other operations, where you can add/delete/rename/copy/paste/export files.

Click theSearch icon to search the contents of the jar package. If it is a class jar, it will be searched based on the decompiled content.

• The JDK that the compilation depends on is the JDK of your SDK list. You can choose SDK and target version of the compiled class.
• The classpath you depend on when compiling java is the project's Libraries dependency. If the dependency package cannot be found, you can add Libraries(File->Project Structure->Libraries).
• Save(Compile) will save the modified files to the subdirectoryjar_edit_out of the directory where the jar package is located. Build Jar will incrementally write the modified files to jar, and finally delete this directory.

When compiling and selectingSDK Default, the runtime JDK (JBR) integrated by Jetbrains is used. If SDK Default is not selected, the JDK installed by the specific user will be used.
