Removing a ZIP/JAR file comment

When I run an obfuscator like allatori on my JAR file, it will add a comment to the archive saying something like Obfuscation by Allatori Obfuscator http://www.allatori.com

Using WinRAR, this comment can be removed by editing the archive comment.

However, I did not find a way to do this in a batch script or Java code to integrate into my build process.

How can it be done?

Solution

  • This is how Archive File comments can be updated using WinRAR CLI:

    for %I in ("E:\YOUR\JAR\LOCATION\*.jar") do @"%ProgramFiles%\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe" c -zBLANK_COMMENT_FILE.txt "%I"

    Create one blank file named BLANK_COMMENT_FILE.txt where you run this command.

    Run this command with administrator access.

    Hope this will help you.
