Annotation Type Texts

@Retention(value=SOURCE)
public @interface Texts

Define textual string data and use them from a single character buffer. Various tools offer obfuscation of code, but not many obfuscate the strings. This tool help you do that. Define your strings in source and let this tool mangle them into unreadable buffer of characters, accessible by Strings.xyz methods.

This API can be used in compile-only mode (e.g. Maven scope provided) - it uses an annotation processor that collects all @Texts annotation usages and generates completely independent Strings class to be used in your application.

The processor can be configured via two parameters (passed to javac with prefix -A):

• stringSize - the size of string chunks to use - by default all characters
• stringSeed - the seed to use to shuffle the texts - random if not specified

public abstract String[] value

Individual lines defining the texts. Use key=message format for each element in the array. Use {n} starting with n being zero to define substitutions into the text message.

Each key will result into key() method being generated into the Strings class. If the message has parameters, they will become substituable by the methods arguments.

Returns:

array of key=message strings
