Can I use SophiaCompress(Java) OASIS with other compression tools ?

Version :

All

Answer :

You can use "Obfuscator" and "ZIP compression tool".

One of the usable obfuscator is ProGuard. Use ProGuard first, then compress it with SophiaCompress(Java) OASIS.

We have not tested SophiaCompress(Java) OASIS with other obfuscators, but these may work well too. Generally, compression ratio will increase by compressing obfuscated application. If the compressed application does not work fine, compress it with SophiaCompress(Java) OASIS then, use obfuscators.

KZIP and 7-ZIP can be used as "ZIP compression tools. It can be configured in SophiaCompress(Java) OASIS. KZIP has better compression rate than that of 7-ZIP.

When booting up SophiaCompress(Java) OASIS, "unable to open file" error or "Unable to access jarfile C:\Program" pops up.

Answer :

Associate JAR file to Java.

  1. Open folder option of control panel.

  2. Choose [File Type]

  3. Click [New] button. When the dialog pops up, put [jar] in the file extension box and click on [OK].

  4. Choose [JAR] and click configure.

  5. Click [New] button in the [Action] field. Input [open] in the [Action] field. Input [%JAVA_HOME%\bin\javaw.exe -jar "%1" %*] in [Application to take this action], then press [OK]. (%JAVA_HOME% means the installed folder of Java)

  6. After clicking [OK], close all windows.

Example:
When Java development kit is being installed in C:\j2sdk1.4.2_14, input [C:\j2sdk1.4.2_14\bin\javaw.exe -jar "%1" %*] in the [Application to take this action] field.

Be careful that double quotations are required for %1.

I'm compressing the same application, but the compression result changes every time.

Answer :

It is because that items chosen for class integration and name sharing is selected randomly when an application is being compressed.

* The selection will be optimized in the future version.

When there is letter "ム" in the folder name, SophiaCompress(Java) OASIS fails to compress.

Answer :

Follow the steps to increase the heap size.

  1. Choose [Tools] -> [Folder option] in Explorer.

  2. Open [File type] tab, choose JAR, then click on [Configure]

  3. Choose [open], then click on [Edit].

  4. Add "-Xmx<size>" after "-jar" in the [Application to take the action] area.

    Assign heap size for <size>. (ex: if 100MB, it would be 100m

  5. Click [OK], then reboot SophiaCompress(Java) OASIS.

I assigned -Xmx<100m > as booting option, but it doesn't work.

Version :

Answer :

I am using " java -jar -Xmx<10000> scompress.jar " for booting option. But "can not find file" error occur.

Please assign heap size without using "<" and ">".

Example:
10000 byte： java -jar -Xmx10000 scompress.jar
100 MB： java -jar -Xmx100m scompress.jar

I compressed my application using class integration function, but it terminates abnormally with "OutOfMemoryError".

Version :
3.0.0 ~
Answer :

When creating instances, integrated class consumes larger amount of memory than original classes. So there may be abnormal termination by OutOfMemoryError.

To solve this problem, drop the class integration level, or turn off the class integration option.

In what kind of program design will class integration work the best ?
