Installing RetroGuard - RetroGuard Documentation

RetroGuard is a Java application, compliant with JDK-1.1 through Java SE 6 and so a Java virtual machine is required to run the tool. We recommend that you obtain the latest copy of Java from Sun Microsystems.

The RetroGuard obfuscator is simple to install. Just ensure that the archive 'retroguard.jar' is listed in your 'CLASSPATH' environment variable. Please refer to the JDK documentation for your platform if you are unsure how to set the 'CLASSPATH' environment variable.

Before obfuscation, you must package your classes and any associated resource files in a Jar archive. For example, to package an entire directory tree of classes into a Jar, use: 'jar cf MyJar.jar *'. See the JDK documentation for full details about creating and using Jar archives.
