Do you mean the online Java applet or the actual Scratch program?

I wish I understood some of this stuff! I am a noob (only on scratch a month) so I really wish I knew what this meant.

The scratch player is a java applet or .jar file. To decompile it means to take the java source code from the file.

Is that the newest one? Just asking.

yes.

While the decompiled player is OK, it's not really the same as original source.  Is there a chance the source code for the Java version of the Scratch environment will ever be released?  Also, I haven't been able to run it yet, but I assume only the player code was ported, not the whole development environment for Scratch?

Java Decompiler (http://java.decompiler.free.fr/) works on the jar archive.
