How to ban extracting from .jar file?

Hello
Problem of .jar file is: .class files can be extracted (with winrar ...) and decompiled. I don't want my classes to be decompiled. But I still need my jar executable of course.
Is some solution which bans extraction without any impact on executability?
Thank you very much.
Tony

Is some solution which bans extraction without any
impact on executability?Hmmmm you could not put any class files in your jar. That would eliminate the extraction problem. Probably would be detrimental to execution.
What do you think happens when your app runs? It just magically knows about your classes without extracting them?
Not so much no.
Use an obfuscator.
Or if that's not good enough use another language or just panic.

How to get resources from jar-files

Hi
in my app I load an image via the Toolkit.getImage() method.
Works fine if the app and the image are in folders on disk.
It fails to load the image, if the app (and the image) is packed in a jar file.
How can I get the image from there?
I try to get the image as follows:
String s = getClass().getResource("MyApp.class").getFile();
AppPath = s.substring(0,s.lastIndexOf("/"));
String PathToImages = "/images";
MyImage = (Image)Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(AppPath+PathToImages+"/logo32.gif");The App starts and works, it just fails to load the images.
Any solutions??
thanx in advance

This is actually pretty easy. First a little background.
A Jar file is just a Zip file, with a few constructs for Java.
The getResource() method is used to create a mapping to data within the Jar file, but is actually not necessary after you know how the mapping works.
Just to give you an example of getResource:
// returned is a url to the resource you want from your Jar file.
URL myURL = MyClass.class.getResource("images/myimgage.gif");
// then you can use this URL to load the resource
Image img = getImage(myURL);If you were you look at the value of myURL you would see something similar to the followiing.
jar:http://www.mywebsite.com/mydir/myjarfile.jar!/images/myimage.gifJust to break it down for you.
The line always starts with the word jar:
Followed by the path to your jar file.
A sepearator !/
Then the file you are loading from the Jar file.
jar: path_to_jar_file !/ path_to_resource_in_jar_fileSo if you'd like, you could just create a URL object, and define the path to the object using the above method rather than using getResource.
Anyway, back to your code. What I would do is print out what you get for:AppPath+PathToImages+"/logo32.gif"I'm thinking you might be getting 2 "/" in your path because I think:AppPath = s.substring(0,s.lastIndexOf("/"));will leave the "/" at the end and the next line you add the "/" in front of the image directory name. So you my have the following for your image path.mypath//images

How to load class from jar file dynamically?

After I run my Java applicatoin, I need configuring the classpath of jvm to load some classess inside a jar file into the same jvm.How can I achive that?
I mean, when I run my Java application, I don't know where the jar file is, what the jar file name is. All depends on the user to tell the jvm the details through some UI. I've tried to write: System.setProperty("java.class.path", "c:\myClass.jar");Class.forName("MyClass"); but failed.
Can you tell my why and how?
Thx

Can you tell my why and how?The usual way is to use a custom classloader.
You can start by looking at java.net.URLClassLoader.

If you are talking java, you can use the java.util.zip classes.

You can find lots of examples through google:

How do I extract an audio file from a PDF in Pro? (Mac)

How do I extract an audio file from a PDF in Pro? (Mac) . Properties say it's a .m4a file.
Thanks

Hi Tim,
That isn't a supported feature. If the PDF is unsecured and you have the legal rights to extract the audio, it would be possible to locate and decompress the raw file data from the PDF file using third-party tools to read the low-level file structure (a hex editor or Cos editor) - but Acrobat can't help you.

How do I display Canvas Graphic image (Not Iconic button) from jar file

Hi all,
I am currently using Forms 10g.
I have gone through the tutorials on how to add Button Icons into Jar files for web enables forms .....so far so good
This however does not explain what I actually want to do... since "graphic images are by nature embeded in the for rather than referenced ......so here goes ..
I have a forms 10g application where all the individual form modules/canvases display a big banner (covering top 20% of the screen). This was done by importing the image straight unto the content canvases. As you know this now becomes a "graphic Image" now embeded(& not referenced by file name) on the canvas. Also bear in mind that this is actually different from an "Image Item" which is a block object.
I dont know if this is possible, but what steps do i follow to make the image part of a jar file as opposed to my current situation. Please let me know if possible or not so I stop waisting development time looking for answers :)
Another question is how do i make this jar file a library object so that we can vary the image as we wish
NB: one other trick which i can think of is to create a giant push button across the screen to display the image and then stick it in a jar file !
Cheers
css_jay99

I don't know about embedded images imported in from the builder, but there is a way to use READ_IMAGE_FILE into a BLOCK.IMAGE_ITEM where the images are all in a jar file stored on the OAS.
Metalink Note:137397.1 explains it in details.

How do I extract my music files from a evternal hard drive and put them on my itunes?

how do I extract my music files from a evternal hard drive and put them on my itunes?

If you used the Finder to move the files, iMovie will have lost track of them. iMovie holds the locations of the Event files, and Project files contain references to those locations. If you move the files, iMovie has no way of knowing where they are.
If you can, first move all the files back to their original locations. Plug in the external drive. Open iMovie and move the files in iMovie's interface (help explains how, but basically, just drag and drop in the event pane).
Then you can connect the drive to the new computer, and iMovie will see them.

Easy way to extract a jar file?

I'm looking for an easy way to extract a jar file from with in a java program. I would also like to specify what directory it goes into. I can't seem to find anything on this.

As to specifying a directory, offer the end user a JFileChooser set to browse directories only.

How can i run a jar file as EXE on mouse click..

If it's the latter then you need to make the jar file including a manifest.
The manifest can be just a txt file with its content to be something like this:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.7.1
Created-By: Somebody
Main-Class: NameOfTheMainClass
Class-Path:
X-COMMENT: Main-Class will be added automatically by buildTo make the jar file including the manifest, use something like this in your command prompt (of course you must have compiled your java file(s) first):
jar cfm test.jar MANIFEST.txt NameOfTheMainClass.classAfter that you'd be able to run your application just by double clicking it.
If you're a NetBeans user, you can build your standalone application by right-clicking your project and then going to properties => run => and choosing a Main class. After that right click on that project and "Clean and Build", locate the jar file in the "dist" folder and double click it =]
Hope it helps,

How do you convert a jar file into a java file, ?

how do you convert a jar file into a java file ?
I am new to Java ,but have a little experience in C++ and Visual Basic.
I want to edit and maybe create my own mobile games that are written or converted into jar files.
At the moment I am using Java NetBeans , and Easy Java( the java pad).
However the only solution I tried was to open the JAR file in winrar and see that its made up of png picture files,
midi music files and class files. Unfortunately when I uncompressed the JAR file , there was NO java file to be seen and the JAVA editors Do not show the class file like a Java file. So why is there no extension Java file in the mobile JAR game ?

Are you saying you want to take existing games and modify them? If the creators allow you to modify their source, then they'll provide you with that source (the .java files). If you're allowed to add things but not modify, you don't need .java files. Just documentation, which, again, the creators should be providing.
Or are you saying you want to create your own games and distribute them in jar files? If so, there's no need to turn jars into .java.

Extract nested Jar File

Okay, I've been looking all day for solutions to this problem and nothing I've found pinpointed the solution, so if anyone would rather point me to another site, that's great.
I have a .jar installer ( installer.jar ) that contains the installer code and a nested jar file ( program.jar ).
In my experience, plain text files work great in the "getInputStream() -> FileWriter.write()" method, but my way of handling images requires javax.imageio.ImageIO, and i'm hoping something similar exists for jars.
ALL+* i want to do is extract that jar file into the current directory, but the ZipEntry.getInputStream() method didn't work, and JarInputStream just confuses me.
If anyone has links to other topics or source code to point to how a jarfile can be extracted.

Thanks for the help.
After looking around and finally noticing the Pack200 package, I have the answer!
JarFile jf = new JarFile( "outside.jar" );
JarOutputStream jos = new JarOutputStream( new FileOutputStream( new File( "inside.jar" ) ) );
Pack200.newUnpacker().unpack( jar.getInputStream( jar.getEntry( "inside.jar" ) ), jos );
jos.close();This creates a JarOutputStream that will write to the FileOutputStream forever until closed.
The Pack200 Unpacker takes the inputstream and outputs it to the JarOutputStream.
When the unpack method returns, the jar file is ready. Close the jar output stream and you have a workable jar!
