Cannot exclude native method

[thanhminh-vht]

yGuard currently doesn't have a way to specify the shrinker to keep all native method. This make shrinking some fat jar that include native libraries (e.g. Eclipse SWT) nearly impossible.

So my question is:

• Could this feature be implemented?
• If yes, how hard would it be to implement this? What's needed to be done?

While I cannot answer your questions (I simply do not know), the general advice on shrinking is: Do not.
Shrinking is a legacy feature that is almost useless with modern day internet band widths and disk storage sizes while at the same time it is very difficult to setup correctly. (It typically requires manual configuration that is hard to get right even for yGuard experts.) It is not worth the effort.
