JSync

A product allowing collaboration on Java decompilation projects (like Android applications) across multiple users (using either JEB or JADX, the leading products); Allows teams to collaborate on such decompilation projects.

Setup

1. Download jsync-server.zip and run python3 jsync-server.zip -d <stores_directory> (-p <port>)
2. Download JSync.py and place in JEB's scripts folder (make sure jdb was created by JEB >= 5.13)
3. Download JSync.jar and install it as a JADX plugin

Custom Rename Mechanics

The default mechanic for choosing the most relevant rename is simply choosing the latest. It is possible to override this behaviour by creating a file in ~/.jsync/symbol_evaluator.py which defines the following function

def evaluate_symbol(symbols, self_author):
    # type: (list[Symbol], str) -> Symbol
    raise NotImplementedError

An example implementation might be

def evaluate_symbol(symbols, self_author):
	my_symbol = next((symbol for symbol in symbols if symbol.author == self_author), None)
	if my_symbol:
		return my_symbol
	
	latest = max(symbols, key=lambda symbol: symbol.timestamp)
	return latest.named('%s_%s' % (latest.author[0], latest.name))

Development

For stub generation, run (from within the typings directory)

python3 -m pip install requirements.txt
python3 generate_stubs.py --jeb <path to jeb installation> --jadx <path to jadx build>
