Java Tar Tool

This application, built on top of the com.ice.tar package, provides you with a simple GUI that allows you to browse tar archives, as well as extract their contents.

The tools presents the archive as a tree, allowing you to select any node in the tree, be it a directory or file, and view the details of that entry in the archive, as well as extract it.

Running Tar Tool

Java 1

The main class for the application is com.ice.tartool.TarTool. Refer to your Java documentation with respect to running an application, but in general the command should look something like this:
Windows:
   java -classpath %CLASSPATH% com.ice.tartool.TarTool

UNIX:
   java -classpath $CLASSPATH com.ice.tartool.TarTool

where %CLASSPATH% or $CLASSPATH contain the paths of the jar files
according to your platform.

The following JAR files are required on the CLASSPATH:

Java 2

For Java 2, it is much simpler, change your current directory to the TarTool directory that you extracted from the distribution and run:
   java -jar tartool.jar
