## Overview

java2smali is an IntelliJ IDEA/Android Studio plugin that turns a selected Java or Kotlin file into a .smali file and opens it in the editor. The documented workflow is represented by the action, IDE build, class-to-dex conversion, dex disassembly, and editor display stages. The sampled source supports these runtime links; README documents dx and baksmali, while plugin registration details were not sampled.

Main entry points: [`src/main/kotlin/org/ollide/java2smali/DexCompiler.kt`](https://github.com/ollide/intellij-java2smali/blob/develop/src/main/kotlin/org/ollide/java2smali/DexCompiler.kt) (Dex compiler), [`src/main/kotlin/org/ollide/java2smali/Class2DexHelper.kt`](https://github.com/ollide/intellij-java2smali/blob/develop/src/main/kotlin/org/ollide/java2smali/Class2DexHelper.kt) (Class-to-dex helper), [`src/main/kotlin/org/ollide/java2smali/Dex2SmaliHelper.kt`](https://github.com/ollide/intellij-java2smali/blob/develop/src/main/kotlin/org/ollide/java2smali/Dex2SmaliHelper.kt) (Dex disassembler helper), [`src/main/kotlin/org/ollide/java2smali/GenerateAction.kt`](https://github.com/ollide/intellij-java2smali/blob/develop/src/main/kotlin/org/ollide/java2smali/GenerateAction.kt) (Generate action)
