| This directory contains utilities needed to support parallel dex compilation |
| of Android applications. |
| |
| The DexMapper utility maps an applications classes (given in one or more input jar files), |
| to one or more output jars, that may then be compiled separately. |
| |
| The DexReducer utility extracts .dex files from one or more archives, and package them in a |
| single output archive, renaming entries to: classes.dex, classes2.dex, ... |
| |
| These utilities uses a low-level zip-file manipulation library contained in this package. |
| The library is optimized for serial parsing of zip archives and tasks such as copying entries |
| to one or more output archives.It employs direct byte buffers, to avoid copying file data to |
| the java heap, and allowing fast copies from input to output. Output is asynchronous, for optimal |
| performance when running on non-memory-based file systems. |
| |
| WARNING: This library was designed for creating build tools needed to support parallel |
| dex compilation of Android applications, related functions. While the library provides |
| fairly general facilities for processing zip files, the API is still immature, and |
| subject to change. |
