Hi,

I am having problems obfuscating a desktop application with Progaurd. I think it is something to do with the fact I have used Matisse for some of my GUI's... The problems are things like menu strings not appearing (*.properties file issues?) or windows not loading.

I have tried keeping the classes I built with Matisse without any luck, and I've been playing around with Proguard options for hours now. I'm really stuck and am considering just moving to a different obfuscator, but I do really like ProGuard and would like to get it working if at all possible. The only way I get acheive full functionality is my obfuscating so few of my classes as to make it essentially a pointless excercise.

I found a post on SO indicating that GUI builder applications do not obfuscate well in general: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26458/ide-for-swing/1723283#1723283

.. but couldn't find much information on Google. I'm sure this must be a common problem so any nudges in the right direction would be much appreciated!

Cheers
