<h2>Acknowledgements</h2>
<b>ProGuard</b> grew out of <b>RetroGuard</b>, which its author Mark Welsh has
kindly made available under the GNU Lesser General Public License.
<b>RetroGuard</b> is a very nice piece of code, but it only performed
obfuscation. I started from the class file parsing code and wrote my own
shrinker, optimizer, and obfuscator. At this point, both programs have little
code in common.
<p>
Dirk Schnelle has generously contributed and maintained the first versions of
the Ant task. I have rewritten the implementation for version 3.0, but the
XML schema is still based on his work.
<p>
I am developing ProGuard in my spare time, in part on equipment that my
employer <a href="http://www.luciad.com/" target="other">Luciad</a> is kindly
allowing me to use.
<p>
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/forum/projects/proguard/"
target="other">SourceForge</a> is graciously providing the resources for
hosting this project and many other projects.
<p>
My colleagues at Luciad have been very patient trying early versions of the
code. Since the first public release, others have chimed in with interesting
ideas, bug reports, and bug fixes: Thorsten Heit, Oliver Retzl, Jonathan
Knudsen, Bob Drury, Dave Jarvis, Marc Chapman, Dave Morehouse, Richard
Osbaldeston, Peter Hawkins, Mark Sherington, David Sitsky, James Manning,
Ptolemy Oberin, Frank-Michael Moser, QZ Shines, Thomas Singer, Michele
Puccini, Roman Bednarek, Natalia Pujol, Daniel Sjöblom, Jan Filipsky,
Charles Smith, and Gerrit Telkamp.
Thanks! Your feedback has been invaluable.
<p>
The code and these web pages were written using Sun's JDKs, IBM Eclipse, Linux,
GNU emacs, bash, sed, awk, and a whole host of other free tools which continue
to make programming interesting.
