If the .java source was compiled with debug information included,
there is a table inside the .class file that correlates bytecode
ranges with source line numbers. That doesn't sound like exactly what
you're looking for, but it's probably the best that you can do.

For information on the format of .class files, take a look at _The
Java Virtual Machine Specification_, ISBN 0-201-63452-X.
