Free java class file software for linux

ProGuard is a free Java class file shrinker, optimizer, and obfuscator. ProGuard project can detect and remove unused classes, fields, methods, and attributes. It can then optimize bytecode and remove unused instructions.
Finally, it can rename the remaining classes, fields, and methods using short meaningless names. The resulting jars are smaller and harder to reverse-engineer.
More compact jar files also means smaller storage requirements, faster transfer of applications across networks, faster loading, and smaller memory footprints.
ProGuards main advantage compared to other Java obfuscators is probably its compact template-based configuration. A few intuitive command line options or a simple configuration file are usually sufficient. For instance, the following configuration option preserves all applets in a jar:
-keep public class * extends java.applet.Applet
The user manual explains all available options and shows more examples of this powerful configuration style.
ProGuard is fast. It only takes seconds to process programs and libraries of several megabytes. The results section presents actual figures for a number of applications.
ProGuard is a command-line tool with an optional graphical user interface. It also comes with plugins for Ant and for the J2ME Wireless Toolkit.
ProGuard is a Java class file shrinker, optimizer, and obfuscator. The shrinking step detects and removes unused classes, fields, methods, and attributes. The optimization step analyzes and optimizes the bytecode of the methods. The obfuscation step renames the remaining classes, fields, and methods using short meaningless names. The resulting jars are smaller and harder to reverse-engineer.
ProGuard can also be used to list unused fields and methods in an application, and to print out the internal structure of class files.
ProGuard typically reads the input jars (or wars, ears, zips, or directories). It then shrinks, optimizes, and obfuscates them. It then writes the results to one or more output jars (or wars, ears, zips, or directories). The input jars can optionally contain resource files. ProGuard copies all non-class resource files from the input jars to the output jars. Their names and contents remain unchanged.
ProGuard requires the library jars (or wars, ears, zips, or directories) of the input jars to be specified. It can then reconstruct class hierarchies and other class dependencies, which are necessary for proper shrinking, optimization, and obfuscation. The library jars themselves always remain unchanged. You should still put them in the class path of your final application.
In order to determine which code has to be preserved and which code can be discarded or obfuscated, you have to specify one or more entry points to your code. These entry points are typically classes with main methods, applets, midlets, etc.
- In the shrinking step, ProGuard starts from these seeds and recursively determines which classes and class members are used. All other classes and class members are discarded.
- In the optimization step, ProGuard further optimizes the code. Among other optimizations, classes and methods that are not entry points can be made final, and some methods may be inlined.
- In the obfuscation step, ProGuard renames classes and class members that are not entry points. In this entire process, keeping the entry points ensures that they can still be accessed by their original names.
Any classes or class members of your code that are created or invoked dynamically (that is, by name) have to be specified as entry points too. It is generally impossible to determine these cases automatically, but ProGuard will offer some suggestions if keeping some classes or class members appears necessary. For proper results, you should at least be somewhat familiar with the code that you are processing.
ProGuard does handle Class.forName("SomeClass") and SomeClass.class constructs automatically. The referenced classes are preserved in the shrinking phase, and the string arguments are properly replaced in the obfuscation phase. With variable string arguments, it is generally impossible to determine their possible values (they might be read from a configuration file, for instance).
However, as mentioned, ProGuard will note constructs like "(SomeClass)Class.forName(variable).newInstance()". These might be an indication that the class or interface SomeClass and/or its implementations may need to be preserved. You can then adapt your configuration accordingly.

Inline::Java lets you write Perl classes in Java and wrap/use existing Java classes. The project is an ILSM (Inline Language Support Module) for Java 2, and is part of the Inline family of modules.

java-diff is a set of Java classes which implement the longest common subsequences algorithm.

java-diff compares the elements in two arrays, returning a list of Difference objects, each of which describes an addition, deletion, or change between the two arrays.

Java::Import is Perl module to use Java classes in Perl.

SYNOPSIS

use Java::Import qw(
some.package.SomeClass
);

my $instance = new some.package.SomeClass();
$instance->someMethod();

my $ret_val = some::package::SomeClass::someStaticMethod();
$ret_val->someMethod();

$ret_val2 = $instance->someOtherMethod($ret_val);
$ret_val2->someMethod();

my $java_array_ref $instance->someMethod2();
foreach my $obj ( @$java_array_ref ) {
$obj->someMethod();
}

The purpose of this module is to provide a simple method for using Java classes from a Perl program while using the latest in Open Source Java Technology. Thus, this module makes great use of the GNU Compiler Tools for Java in its implimentation.

JMathLib project is a Java Clone of Octave, SciLab and Matlab. A library of mathematical functions designed to be used in evaluating complex expressions and display the results graphically. It will be used either interactively through a terminal like window or to interpret script files.
It is intended to be a java version of programs such as MatLab, Octave and Scilab.

C# Java Virtual Machine is a tiny implementation of the Java VM, including simple native classes. This project is written using the C# language. The VM is very easily expandable by writing additional native or Java classes.
Enhancements:
- The DbConnection class, which provides a connection to MS SQL or PostgreSQL using ADO.NET, was added.
- The Syst.MachineName method, which returns the machine name, was added.
- String.startsWith and String.endsWith functions were added.
- Some comments for VM.cs were written.

bb_mug is a simple, tiny, and fast Java class obfuscator. Where applicable, it replaces class, method, and field names with shorter names.
bb_mug removes all information not required for execution.
Main features:
- It is simple since there are no options
- It is tiny because it was coded smart
- It is fast due to efficient algorithms
bb_mug requires 2 arguments:
< inpath > the input path, to read the classes to obfuscate
< outpath > the output path, to write the obfuscated classes to
There are no options since it follows the default visibility paradigm:
- public elements are not obfuscated
- protected elements are not obfuscated, if they might be visible to external derived classes
- package local and pricate members are always obfuscated
If you believe that a public method should be obfuscated you should reconsider why it is public.
Enhancements:
- Two bugfixes were made.
- References to mangled members in a different class are resolved correctly now even when the member resides in a base class of the reference class.
- Mangled members no longer hide mangled members from parent classes.
