Autojar Description

Creates jar archives from sources Autojar is a free and open source program that creates jar archives of minimal size from different sources (classes, directories, libraries). Starting from one or more classes, it scans the bytecode recursively for other classes, extracts them from their archives if necessary, and adds them to the output file. The resulting archive contains only classes that are really needed. Thus the size and loading time of applets can be kept low, and applications can be made self-contained.In a similar way, Autojar can search directories and archives for other resources (like image files), extract them and copy them to the output.Besides that, Autojar can be used to merge several libraries into one, or to replace single classes in an archive without manually unpacking and re-packing it.A potential problem is reflection. Autojar doesn't know which classes the program will load during runtime. Autojar can, however, search the bytecode for invocations of Class.forName() and issue warnings. Moreover, if a constant class name is used, Autojar can look up this class and add it automatically. Requirements: · Java 1.4.2 or later What's New in This Release: · Autojar does no longer crash if an invalid file is encountered in the class path. Instead, a warning is issued.
