I just wanted to kick off this year’s resources thread.
There’s the Ubiquitous Compile -n- Shrink HTTP Service from Riven:
http://www.indiespot.net/app/java-four-kay
And of course last year’s resources thread.
In addition, I’ve started looking at a Bytecode Outline plugin for Eclipse that can help in tracking down those last extra bytes

The Ubiquitous Compile -n- Shrink HTTP Service doesn’t work for me.
It stops while processing the code.
Well, Riven’s the man you want to talk to, he is the author and maintainer of the service.
But i think it is a processing time issue… I know when i had a 48k class file it stopped due to the zipping taking too long.
Probably going to turn it into an applet, because the server is struggling too much. :emo:
I have a set of Java classes used with Ant targets for shrinking my applets down that I could share, if anyone’s interested.
Hm compile and shrink thingy still no worky?

Works here… :persecutioncomplex:
Are there any particular restrictions on uploading a jar to it? I’ve had a go plonking my 16k entry through it but it just seems to sit there in “entering work queue” and that’s all it ever does.

I hope someone will find my tool handy this time

Hence there is no use of your tool in Java4K (or the JVM in general).
Hmm… It seems it doesn’t work when deployed on a http server, but does work loading the html file locally ( file:// ).
I haven’t noticed this before, I will work to improve that if is possible.
Nevertheless, this is not a thread to discuss that. Feel free to use my tool to warm up your PC
It’s my first time to join java4k. I had read that you can use 7zip CL to compress class file into jar on wiki.java.net. However, the site is down since 2 days ago, can tell me how exactly do that?
whilst i dont know the best switches to use for 7zip commandline, i would imagine that it is highly dependant on the contents of your particular jar.
If you are wanting to use a command line jar compessor (i.e. a zip compressor) then it is recommended that you try kzip or even bjwflate.
Compile n’ Shrink… go go go… up up up … hurray … plz :-*
