Here are the java decompilers I found on Gamelan:

WingDis
Current version is 2.15 and there is no trial download.

Jasmine
- Version 1.0. Based on Mocha.

NMI Java Code Viewer 4.50 - Windows app.
Based on Jad(?). Evaluation copy only produces 3kb of sourcecode. All the different
versions of this are in Gamelan (!) and they've moved from mocha to jasmine to Jad.

Others I've found are:

Jad. Apparently the best (as heard
in comp.java.lang.corba). This link apparently doesn't work at the minute (forever?).
Try
here instead. I've just had a quick go and if you are used to mocha, try it!
Very impressive.

And there is a review of the field by an academic

Java Code Engineering & Reverse Engineering. See its section on

Java decompilers. He has links to others (including mocha which
apparently breaks with a lot of features after 1.1.4.
