If you're talking about a java bytecode disassembler, there are many such
tools. Kaffe has its own (from kopi), it's called javap. It disassembles class
files to *.ksm files, in the kopi bytecode assembler syntax.

Sun's javap uses a slightly different syntax, though the tools are quite
similar.

Try javap --help for more information on its usage.
