What problem does it solve?

Helps Java developers quickly explore dependencies, locate where a type is defined, decompile classes, inspect annotations, and instrument bytecode for debugging and diagnostics.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Explore dependencies to identify which JAR provides a given class or symbol and read decompiled sources.
  • Diagnose classpath issues, such as ClassNotFoundException or NoSuchMethodError, by mapping types to their providing JARs.
  • Instrument methods to capture arguments, return values, and timing, exporting structured data for troubleshooting.
  • Decompile or inspect bytecode of a class to understand API behavior and usage.

Quick Start

Install the Jackknife Maven plugin in your environment, then run a typical workflow such as inspecting dependencies or instrumenting a method with the jackknife commands.
