I've had some software developed, now the coder is holding me for ransom.
andr: To answer your question, Java is very easy to reverse engineer. Google for a decompiler. Several years ago I would get an almost perfect copy of the original source, with the proper variable names, etc. The only thing missing were comments :)The legality of you reverse engineering the software is a different matter. But if you have paid the $2500 in question, then you own it.
