java class differences

tim
I've been given the task of trying to determine if some Java source code
is the correct version of what is in production.
Previous people took the source code and compiled it and then compared
it to the class they extracted from the production ear file.
There were slight differences but they said they were 99% the same. I'm
not sure how they reached that conclusion.

My question is, is it possible that the production classes were compiled
from this source? Are there any logical explanations for these minor
discrepancies, such as different versions of compilers or different
versions of j2ee.jar and struts.jar files?

Does anyone have a suggestion as to a better way to determine if the
code is the correct version, such as decompiling it?

Thanks,
Tim
