- gui          : the ProGuard/ReTrace GUI
- gradle       : the ProGuard Gradle plugin

- buildscripts : various alternative build scripts

The best place to start is the [on-line manual](https://www.guardsquare.com/proguard).


Example
-------

If you want to give ProGuard a spin right away, try processing the ProGuard
jar itself:

    cd examples/standalone
    ../../bin/proguard.sh @ proguard.pro

The resulting proguard\_out.jar contains the same application, but it's a lot
smaller.


Android example
---------------

If you want to see this version of ProGuard integrated in an Android project,
you can look at the small Android HelloWorld project:

    cd examples/android
    gradle assembleRelease
