The “Java Decompiler project” aims to develop tools in order to decompile and analyze Java 5 “byte code” and the later versions.
JD-Core is a freeware library that reconstructs Java source code from one or more “.class” files. JD-Core may be used to recover lost source code and explore the source of Java runtime libraries. New features of Java 5, such as annotations, generics or type “enum”, are supported. JD-GUI includes JD-Core library.
JD-GUI is a standalone graphical utility that displays Java source codes of “.class” files. You can browse the reconstructed source code with the JD-GUI for instant access to methods and fields.
JD-Core and JD-GUI are free for non-commercial use. This means that JD-Core and JD-GUI shall not be included or embedded into commercial software products. Nevertheless, JD-Core and JD-GUI may be freely used for personal needs in a commercial or non-commercial environments.

java class decompiler
An alternative to JD-GUI could be Jad (v1.5.8g) used with JadRetro tool (jadretro.sf.net). While it doesn't produce java generics, it produces the source code (including for Java 1.5+ classes) functionally equivalent to the original and compilable (back).
At present, IMHO, JadRetro+Jad give better results than JD-GUI in producing compilable source code.
