ProGuard, Java class file shrinker, optimizer, and obfuscator
=============================================================

This distribution contains the following directories:

- lib      : the main jars, compiled and ready to use with "java -jar ...."
- docs     : the complete documentation, licenses, etc. in html format
- examples : some example configuration files
- src      : the source code


The best place to start is docs/index.html


Example
=======

If you want to give ProGuard a spin right away, try processing the jar itself:

    cd examples
    java -jar ../lib/proguard.jar @proguard.pro

The resulting proguard_out.jar contains the same application, but it's a lot
smaller!


Development
===========

If you're interested in changing and extending ProGuard, you can start by
compiling the source code yourself:

    mkdir classes
    javac -sourcepath src -d classes src/proguard/ProGuard.java
    javac -sourcepath src -d classes src/proguard/retrace/ReTrace.java
    javac -sourcepath src -d classes src/proguard/gui/ProGuardGUI.java

If you want to compile the ProGuard Ant task as well:

    javac -sourcepath src -d classes -classpath lib/ant.jar \
        src/proguard/ant/ProGuardTask.java

If you want to compile the J2ME WTK obfuscator plug-in:

    javac -sourcepath src -d classes -classpath wtklib/kenv.zip \
        src/proguard/wtk/ProGuardObfuscator.java

Note that you'll have to install Ant and the J2ME WTK yourself.

Enjoy!
