JadClipse and Ubuntu 11.10
I used the jd-eclipse plugin for some time until it stopped working yesterday without any clue whatsoever (Checked the log files and preferences and whatever people recommended to do on the net). As I really had to look into some class files today I tried to set up JadClipse instead. Turns out it needs JAD to do its work and you have to configure the path to it on the preferences. If you download it from here and try to run it, it will respond with the following error message:
error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I tried to install the missing package libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2_2.95 via apt-get but it turns out it is not included anymore since Hardy.
The simple and stupid solution works though: Get the deb from here and install it via dpkg – jad works fine with it.
After that, I had to fiddle with the editor preferences for the class files in order to get it working (it was opening the right editor but still no decompiled source until I deleted one of the other preferences for class files… 
).
