Complete newbie help

Question

Hi guys , just joined!!!
I am a PHP developer and have 'forced' into some work with java.
Now I am a complete noob here and I have what I hope is a fairly straight forward request. I have a jar file that I have extracted so I can view all teh classess witihin and have found a class decompiler so I can actually see the code.
I need to edit one of the classes and then re-generate the .jar file.
What software do I need (just got the java studio creator and java studio enterprise...) and how exactly do I go about this process.
I have read a few pages abut this but still not confident so would really appreciate a hand holding exercise if anyone wuld be so kind.

Hello! There seems to be alot wrong, so I don't know if I'll
get you up and running, but I'll try.
First of all you are stating "override function" for the
first 2 functions. This is only ok when you use it inside a class
(I assume you are coding on the timeline right?), so get rid of the
override.
Secondly I am not really sure what you are trying to do with
this part of your code:
addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyDownHandler);
keyDownHandler {function event
(keyCode)==Keyboard.LEFT):void;{
gotoAndStop:(20);
addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyDownHandler2);
keyDownHandler2(event )(keyCode==Keyboard.RIGHT);{
gotoAndStop:(30);
Are you trying to specify another 2 functions (you'll have a
naming conflict then as keyDownHandler and keyDownHandler2 are
already in use) or are you trying to call the above functions?
Third there are little flaws like gotoAndStop:(30); which
should be gotoAndStop(30); and some semicolons too much.
Hope that helps a little.
