ProGuard Java Optimizer and Obfuscator Reviews

I use it mostly to shrink jars. Once it helps me to refactor a code. Top rated job.

I've been using this tool for years. Thanks.

Outstanding software for me. It reduces jar sizes significantly and also helps to do source refactoring.

This is an awesome program and so useful! Basically it only takes two steps to complete using the command line version. (The GUI is probably even easier but did not run due to my version of Java installed) 1. Create a script file (examples can be easily found on the proguard website and it is really simple basically input,output and compilation settings) 2. Run proguard from the command line and target your script file Super simple and very easy to do. It then successfully shrunk my code to more than a fourth its original size. But most importantly it obfuscated the heck out of my code so that I couldn't even tell what was going on at the end! The only thing it doesn't do is obfuscate images but it still is better and easier than I ever expected! (note: with libraries it is slightly more complicated about how to proguard your Jar but if you just google the error it gives you I found lines to add to my script file to solve all the issues easily)

Recommended (JavaFX + Spring + Hibernate)

The key to making Proguard work for you is actually how you JAR your project files! After you create jar, try to verify it using jar tvf your.jar!!! If it works than Proguard will likely work too! Sometimes jar files are created using wrong command line arguments and APPEAR to be fine, only to result in problems when obfuscating!!! Proguard is really stable project and I am using it every time I publish next version of my project (Elliptic Curve Applet) on my site! Warmly recommend it!

The only obfuscator that I got to work with JavaFX + Spring.

Well, it looks really great but is too hard to get to work. Errors, errors everywhere. I am not alone, check stackoverflow tag proguard.

Very good program, obfuscate my code as required

Works all the time. Excellent GUI and documentation. Must have app for Java devs.

Just perfect :) nothing wrong ... nice work

This tool has an amazing feature range, doc is brilliantly clear, and it really works !!

very good program, thanks

Very useful. Software Suite is easy to use and like.

this's so easy. tank's 4 u'r kind

I think it is one of the best. I want to use some other fuction.

It's an essential tool for my computers.

Fast and Efficient. better than Windows based programs and FREE.

the best, just works

The best file utility I've used - simple, efficient, and powerful.

Good Soft! Thank.

Like my Mac is supposed to.

Works great every time, never any trouble.

One of the most useful tools in my toolbox.
