Compactor 3.9

Compactor is a software tool developed by Canadian Mind Products that helps in reducing the size of Java class files.

Compactor uses various techniques such as stripping local variable debug info, optimizing constant pool references, and compressing string constants to shrink Java class file sizes.

Using Compactor can significantly reduce the file size of Java class files, which can result in faster loading times, lower bandwidth consumption, and smaller storage requirements for your Java applications.

Yes, Compactor is designed to be compatible with all versions of Java, including older versions like Java 6 and newer versions like Java 15.

Yes, Compactor is capable of processing large codebases and can be used effectively on projects of any size.

While Compactor can significantly reduce file size, it may slightly impact the initial start-up time of an application due to the need for decompression. However, this impact is generally negligible in comparison to the overall benefits.

No, once a class file is compacted using Compactor, the compression is irreversible. It is recommended to keep a backup of the original class files if you ever need to revert or compare them.

Compactor provides a command-line interface (CLI) that can be easily integrated into your build scripts or build automation tools. You can run Compactor as a post-compilation step to reduce the size of generated class files.

Compactor is available as a free trial for evaluation purposes. However, to use it in commercial projects or for continued usage, you need to purchase a license from Canadian Mind Products.

Canadian Mind Products provides support for Compactor through their official website. You can find documentation, FAQs, and contact information for further assistance.
