This software provides a convenient comparison tool for Jar and Zip files, allowing for easy analysis and identification of differences.
Jarcomp highlights several aspects such as the files that have been added, the ones that have been removed, as well as the ones that are available in both archives. Additionally, the program checks if a file exists in both archives, and it provides information on whether the file has grown bigger, been reduced in size, or remained the same in size in both archives.
In cases where files are the same size, users can opt to generate an MD5 checksum to ensure that both files contain the same content. It's worth noting that since the program is based on Java, it requires a Java runtime of at least version 5 for it to function correctly.
Running the program is easy. Users only need to download the Jar file and save it to their systems. The application runs on a standard Java GUI, meaning that it can be launched by double-clicking the Jar file or right-clicking on it and selecting the run option.
Alternatively, users can run the program from the command-line using the path to the jarcomp.jar file, or they can give the two files they wish to compare immediately. Jarcomp provides a reliable comparison solution, and it comes in handy for anyone who regularly works with Jar or Zip files.
