Further, even after these steps were complete (usually a combination of dex2jar and JD-GUI), I would be left with disparate sources of information; the decompiled Java would be over here in this directory, while the un-DEXed content would be somewhere else (Really bad for importing into Eclipse!) I basically wanted to make this generate a tree and source as close as possible to what the original Android developer sees. One thing that existing decompilers don't do is regenerate R references; this tool includes a script that makes an attempt to do this. Which gives you more insight when you're reading source code?
