Can I get the .java file if I only have the .class file?

I'm trying to understand the concept, actually. So...I write the code in a .java file. After compiling it, I obtain a .class file.
If I let a .jar be built, this one will only contain .class files and a mf.file.
After this, could I just delete the source files? If I transfer only the .jar file on another computer, could I still obtain .java files from it?
