This article: http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-02-2001/jw-0216-cooltools.html
discusses an open-source, design-by-contract Java tool called
iContract.  This tool is also referenced in the excellent book, The
Pragmatic Programmer.  The company that hosted this tool has
apparently gone out of business: http://www.reliable-systems.com

I want the source for this iContract tool so I can revive the project.
 Be aware that this sourceforge project:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/icplus/ does not include the source to
the main icontract application.

thanks!

Could probably be it, I guess.
This is a free comment.

Unfortunately, that's not it either; it is an ant task that helps you
use the icontract tool.  I still need to find the icontract source or
even the jar (e.g. incontract.jar?).

But thank you for the attempt.

You can find an archived version of the site here:
http://web.archive.org/web/20031204212425/www.reliable-systems.com/tools/iContract/iContract.htm

The jar you want should be one of these:
http://web.archive.org/web/20030923073809/www.reliable-systems.com/tools/_download-area/icontract/iContract-jdk1_2.jar
http://web.archive.org/web/20030923074650/www.reliable-systems.com/tools/_download-area/icontract/iContract-jdk1_1_7.jar

However, since the site appears gone perhaps this could be a viable alternative?

PS. I could not find any link whatsoever to any sources on the
archived website, assuming the license allows it you'll have to
decompile it yourself.
One such tool i know of is jad, which you can download here:
