Not a statement error

[Charisse Lane]

I am trying to compile code that was previously compiled but isn't working for me for some reason.

Can anyone tell me if there's another way to do the following? I don't understand because this was previouly compiled - all I did was decompile and try to recompile after changing a completely separate method. I haven't touched this code.

x1;
is not a valid statement and I don't know why it's being declared here but when I remove it, I get an error that it hasn't been initialized and is then the other statement is unreachable.

static Class _mthclass$(String x0)
{
return Class.forName(x0);

ClassNotFoundException x1;
x1;

throw new NoClassDefFoundError(x1.getMessage());
}

The decompiler has produced completely invalid code; they do that sometimes if they can't quite figure out what the code is supposed to do -- or if they're decompiling bytecodes that weren't compiled from Java source in the first place, which may be the case here. Maybe it's just supposed to be something like

static Class<?> Class _mthclass$(String x0) 
{
try {
    return Class.forName(x0);
    } catch (ClassNotFoundException x1) {
        throw new NoClassDefFoundError(x1.getMessage());
    } 
}

Thank you so VERY much!!! That worked. I would have literally been here all day trying to figure this out.

Take care,
