Good tool, but...
by SyntEvo GmbH - Aug 31st 2007 03:08:47
We use ProGuard since a couple of years and are very happy with it. It
provides good obfuscation for zero price.
Unfortunately, we need to stick with version 3.6 because every new version
we've tried caused our application to behave incorrectly (e.g. menus did
not open) or to throw some exceptions at the application start (although we
don't use reflection). The bad thing is, that finding such bugs is very
hard without (major) knowledge of the byte-code internals. Sending
unobfuscated application code over the internet is also not a good choice.

With version 4.0.1 all these problems are fixed. Thanks, Eric, for the
excellent work!

This package shrunk my jar to 1/3 its size, eliminated unused methods and
gave the rest names like a, b, c, etc. Just what I needed. Best of all,
thanks to the wizardly GUI builder, I was able to do this in practically
zero time.
I like the way the GUI builder is a transparently clean front-end for the
underlying ant script (which is quite readable), and how well the various
defaults were chosen. There's great documentation, too.
Even if you don't need an obfuscation tool, the code shrinkage and method
elimination gives your Java applications many of the advantages associated
with languages like C.
Have only used it on a small application so far, but I very much liked
what I saw...Thanks for creating what I expect will be an important
addition to my Java toolkit going forward.
