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:
activaton.jar
- Java Activation Foundation (JAF)
classes.zip
- Java 1.1 core classes
swing.jar
- Java Foundation Classes (JFC or Swing)
tartool.jar
- The TarTool classes
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
