Mission

JBalboa is there to help you manage the jar library of a java project. Quite often, a medium to large java project will contain a huge number of jars. The problem is that nobody knows for sure which jars are used and which are not. This might be because many developers worked on that project and are now gone, without leaving any documentation (that would be too easy :-), or because somebody requiring a new functionality added 10 jars of the same family when only one would have been enough.

 

Short Description

JBalboa consists of two parts: Links and Lookup.

  1. Links allows you to retrieve, among other things, which jars in a given directory are never used (i.e. its classes are never imported). This will help you to clean up your lib directory.
  2. Lookup allows you to retrieve a java class (or any other file actually) inside a directory containing any number of jars.

 

Status

  • JBalboa v0.9.5 is fully functional. It requires Java 5 or above.

Note: if Java Web Start does not work, try updating your Java version at java.com or reading the Java Web Start product page. If you have problems, please see the ArgoUML FAQ (thanks).
