ProGuard, Java bytecode optimizer and obfuscator

This distribution contains the following directories:

• bin : simple wrapper scripts to run ProGuard, its GUI, and ReTrace
• lib : the main jars, compiled and ready to use with "java -jar ...."
• examples : some example configuration files and projects

It also contains the source code and build scripts:

• core : the ProGuard core
• retrace : the ReTrace tool
• gui : the ProGuard/ReTrace GUI
• gradle : the ProGuard Gradle plugin
• ant : the ProGuard Ant plugin
• wtk : the ProGuard WTK plugin
• annotations : the optional annotations to configure ProGuard
• buildscripts : various alternative build scripts

The best place to start is the on-line manual.

Example

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

cd examples/standalone
../../bin/proguard.sh @ proguard.pro

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

Android example

If you want to see this version of ProGuard integrated in an Android project, you can look at the small Android HelloWorld project:

cd examples/android
gradle assembleRelease
