More than 6 years have passed since last maintenance and users seem to have acknowledged this project will not be maintained anymore.
People have started looking for alternatives and my project JD-GUI-DUO is mentioned in an issue #460.
JD-GUI-DUO is also on its way to getting signed by a valid certification authority with SignPath open source program.
This is a suggestion to approve JD-GUI-DUO as valid successor.

Suggested next steps:

  • merge this PR
  • archive this repository

Pull request overview

Updates the repository’s README to redirect users to JD-GUI-DUO as a maintained successor, in response to the project being effectively unmaintained.

Changes:

  • Replaced the existing README content with a link to JD-GUI-DUO.
  • Added a short list of technical reasons/features explaining why JD-GUI-DUO diverges (ANTLR→JDT, ProGuard removal, bundled JRE, additional decompilers, diff/compare tooling).

💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.
