(30/07/97) Note: ClassSpider 2 will be available in a day or two!
Class Spider is a Java application and applet publishing tool. Its purpose is to simplify the use of packages. It removes the need to meticulously search your packages for all classes your program uses. You simply select your main or applet class, and allow Class Spider recursively collect all referenced classes. You then select a destination directory for Class Spider to copy all used classes. Classes in the Java package or in zip files will not be collected. Make sure that any packages you want collecting appear in their unzipped form somewhere on your classpath. (20/03/97) You can also choose to give the default package a name before saving. This is useful when you don't know how an application or applet is going to fit into your package hierarchy before it is published. The above snapshot shows this application about to be saved into a package called 'gecko.app.ClassSpider'. ClassSpider will warn you if any of the classes you're using contain native methods.
