+<h2>Graphical User Interface</h2>
+
+You can find the ProGuard GUI jar in the <code>lib</code> directory of the
+ProGuard distribution. To run the ProGuard graphical user interface, just type:
+<p class="code">
+<code><b>java -jar proguardgui.jar</b> [-nosplash] </code>[<i>configuration_file</i>]
+</p>
+Alternatively, the <code>bin</code> directory contains some short Linux and
+Windows scripts containing this command. The GUI will pop up in a window. With
+the <code>-nosplash</code> option, you can switch off the short opening
+animation. If you have specified a ProGuard configuration file, it will be
+loaded. The GUI works like a wizard. You can edit the configuration and
+execute ProGuard through a few tabs:
+<p>
+
+<table cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5">
+<tr><td class="button"><a href="#proguard">ProGuard</a></td>
+ <td>Optionally load an existing configuration file.</td></tr>
+<tr><td class="button"><a href="#inputoutput">Input/Output</a></td>
+ <td>Specify the program jars and library jars.</td></tr>
+<tr><td class="button"><a href="#shrinking">Shrinking</a></td>
+ <td>Specify the shrinking options.</td></tr>
+<tr><td class="button"><a href="#obfuscation">Obfuscation</a></td>
+ <td>Specify the obfuscation options.</td></tr>
+<tr><td class="button"><a href="#optimization">Optimization</a></td>
+ <td>Specify the optimization options.</td></tr>
+<tr><td class="button"><a href="#information">Information</a></td>
+ <td>Specify some options to get information.</td></tr>
+<tr><td class="button"><a href="#process">Process</a></td>
+ <td>View and save the resulting configuration, and run ProGuard.</td></tr>
+</table>
+<p>
+
+In addition, there is a tab to execute ReTrace interactively:
+<p>
+
+<table cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5">
+<tr><td class="button"><a href="#retrace">ReTrace</a></td>
+ <td>Set up and run ReTrace, to de-obfuscate stack traces.</td></tr>
+</table>
+<p>
+
+You can freely toggle between the tabs by means of the buttons on the
+left-hand side of the window, or by means of the <b>Previous</b> and
+<b>Next</b> buttons at the bottom of the tabs. Tool tips briefly explain the
+purpose of the numerous options and text fields, although a basic
+understanding of the shrinking/optimization/obfuscation/preverification
+process is assumed. Please refer to the <a
+href="introduction.html">Introduction</a> of this manual.
+<p>
+
+<h2><a name="proguard">The ProGuard Tab</a></h2>
+
+The <i>ProGuard</i> tab presents a welcome message and one important button at
+the bottom:
+<p>
+
+<table cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5">
+<tr><td class="button">Load configuration...</td>
+ <td>opens a file chooser to load an existing ProGuard configuration
+ file.</td></tr>
+</table>
+<p>
+
+If you don't want to load an existing configuration, you can just continue
+creating a new configuration from scratch.
+<p>
+
+<h2><a name="inputoutput">The Input/Output Tab</a></h2>
+
+The <i>Input/Output</i> tab contains two lists, respectively to specify the
+program jars (or aars, wars, ears, zips, apks, or directories), and the
+library jars (or aars, wars, ears, zips, apks, or directories).
+
+<ul>
+<li>The list of program jars contains input entries and output entries. Input
+ entries contain the class files and resource files to be processed. Output
+ entries specify the destinations to which the processed results will be
+ written. They are preceded by arrows, to distinguish them from input
+ entries. The results of each consecutive list of input entries will be
+ written to the subsequent consecutive list of output entries.</li>
+
+<li>The library jars are not copied to the output jars; they contain class
+ files that are used by class files in the program jars and that are
+ necessary for correct processing. This list typically at least contains the
+ targeted Java runtime jar.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+
+Each of these lists can be edited by means of a couple of buttons on the
+right-hand side:
+<p>
+
+<table cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5">
+<tr><td class="button">Add input...</td> <td>opens a file chooser to add an
+ input entry to the list of program jars.</td></tr>
+<tr><td class="button">Add output...</td> <td>opens a file chooser to add an
+ output entry to the list of program jars.</td></tr>
+<tr><td class="button">Add...</td>
+ <td>opens a file chooser to add an entry to the list of library
+ jars.</td></tr>
+<tr><td class="button">Edit...</td>
+ <td>opens a file chooser to edit the selected entry in the list.</td></tr>
+<tr><td class="button">Filter...</td>
+ <td>opens a text entry field to add or edit the filters of the selected
+ entries in the list.</td></tr>
+<tr><td class="button">Remove</td>
+ <td>removes the selected entries from the list.</td></tr>
+<tr><td class="button">Move up</td>
+ <td>moves the selected entries one position up the list.</td></tr>
+<tr><td class="button">Move down</td>
+ <td>moves the selected entries one position down the list.</td></tr>
+<tr><td class="button">Move to libraries</td>
+ <td>moves the selected entries in the list of program jars to the list of
+ library jars.</td></tr>
+<tr><td class="button">Move to program</td>
+ <td>moves the selected entries in the list of library jars to the list of
+ program jars.</td></tr>
+</table>
+<p>
+
+Filters allow to filter files based on their names. You can specify filters
+for class file names and resource file names, for jar file names, for aar file
+names, for war file names, for ear file names, for zip file names, and for
+apk file names. Multiple entries in the program list only make sense when
+combined with filters; each output file is written to the first entry with a
+matching filter.
+<p>
+
+Input entries that are currently not readable are colored red.
+<p>
+
+The order of the entries in each list may matter, as the first occurrence of
+any duplicate entries gets precedence, just as in conventional class paths.
+<p>
+
+Corresponding configuration options:
+<ul type="none">
+<li>-<a href="usage.html#injars">injars</a></li>
+<li>-<a href="usage.html#outjars">outjars</a></li>
+<li>-<a href="usage.html#libraryjars">libraryjars</a></li>

+<li><a href="usage.html#filters"><i>filters</i></a></li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+
+<h2><a name="shrinking">The Shrinking Tab</a></h2>
+
+The <i>Shrinking</i> tab presents a number of options that affect the
+shrinking step. The basic options are followed by a few lists of classes and
+class members (fields and methods) that must be protected from shrinking (and
+implicitly from obfuscation as well).
+<p>
+
+The fixed lists contain predefined entries that are typically useful for many
+applications. Each of these entries can be toggled by means of a check box.
+The text field following each entry allows to constrain the applicable classes
+by means of a comma-separated list of wildcarded, fully-qualified class
+names. The default is "*", which means that all input classes of the
+corresponding type are considered.
+<p>
+
+For example, checking the <b>Applications</b> entry and filling in
+"myapplications.**" after it would mean: keep all classes that have main
+methods in the "myapplications" package and all of its subpackages.
+<p>
+
+The variable list at the bottom allows to define additional entries
+yourself. The list can be edited by means of a couple of buttons on the
+right-hand side:
+<p>
+
+<table cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5">
+<tr><td class="button">Add...</td>
+ <td>opens a window to add a new entry to the list.</td></tr>
+<tr><td class="button">Edit...</td>
+ <td>opens a window to edit the selected entry in the list.</td></tr>
+<tr><td class="button">Remove</td>
+ <td>removes the selected entries from the list.</td></tr>
+<tr><td class="button">Move up</td>
+ <td>moves the selected entries one position up the list.</td></tr>
+<tr><td class="button">Move down</td>
+ <td>moves the selected entries one position down the list.</td></tr>
+</table>
+<p>
+
+The interface windows allow to specify classes, fields, and methods. They
+contain text fields and check boxes to constrain these items. They have
+<b>Ok</b> and <b>Cancel</b> buttons to apply or to cancel the operation.
+<p>
+
+For example, your application may be creating some classes dynamically using
+<code>Class.forName</code>. You should then specify them here, so they are kept
+by their original names. Press the <b>Add...</b> button to open the class
+window. Fill out the fully-qualified class name in the <b>Code</b> text field,
+and press the <b>Ok</b> button. Repeat this for all required classes. Wildcards
+can be helpful to specify a large number of related classes in one go. If you
+want to specify all implementations of a certain interface, fill out the
+fully qualified interface name in the <b>Extends/implements class</b> instead.
+<p>
+
+For more advanced settings, it is advisable to become familiar with ProGuard's
+configuration options through the <a href="usage.html">Usage section</a> and
+the <a href="examples.html">Examples section</a>. We'll suffice with a brief
+overview of the three dialogs provided by the GUI.
+<p>
+
+The <i>keep class</i> dialog appears when adding or editing new special keep
+entries. It has text fields and selections for specifying and constraining
+classes and class members to keep. The <b>Advanced options</b> / <b>Basic
+options</b> button at the bottom of the dialog allows to toggle showing the
+advanced options.
+
+<ul>
+<li>The <b>Comments</b> text field allows to add optional comments to this
+ entry. The comments will identify the entry in the list and they will
+ appear as comments in the configuration file.</li>
+
+<li>The <b>Keep</b> selection allows to specify whether you want to protect
+ the specified classes and their specified class members, or just the
+ specified class members from the specified classes, or the specified
+ classes and the specified class members, if the class members are present.
+ Note that class members will only be protected if they are explicitly
+ specified, even if only by means of a wildcard.</li>
+
+<li>The <b>Allow</b> selection allows to specify whether you want to allow the
+ the specified classes and their specified class members to be shrunk,
+ optimized and/or obfuscated.</li>
+
+<li>The <b>Access</b> selections allows to specify constraints on the class or
+ classes, based on their access modifiers.</li>
+
+<li>The <b>Annotation</b> text field takes the fully-qualified name of an
+ annotation that is required for matching classes. The annotation name can
+ contain wildcards. This is an advanced option for defining <i>keep</i>
+ annotations.</li>
+
+<li>The <b>Class</b> text field takes the fully-qualified name of the class or
+ classes. The class name can contain wildcards.</li>
+
+<li>The <b>Annotation</b> text field takes the fully-qualified name of an
+ annotation that is required for the class or interface that the above
+ class must extend. The annotation name can contain wildcards. This is an
+ advanced option for defining <i>keep</i> annotations.</li>
+
+<li>The <b>Extends/implements class</b> text field takes the fully-qualified
+ name of the class or interface that the above classes must extend.</li>
+
+<li>The <b>Class members</b> list allows to specify a list of fields and
+ methods to keep. It can be edited by means of a list of buttons on the
+ right-hand side.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+
+The <i>keep field</i> dialog appears when adding or editing fields within the
+above dialog. It has text fields and selections for specifying and
+constraining fields to keep. Again, the <b>Advanced options</b> / <b>Basic
+options</b> button at the bottom of the dialog allows to toggle showing the
+advanced options.
+
+<ul>
+<li>The <b>Access</b> selections allows to specify constraints on the field or
+ fields, based on their access modifiers.</li>
+
+<li>The <b>Annotation</b> text field takes the fully-qualified name of an
+ annotation that is required for matching fields. The annotation name can
+ contain wildcards. This is an advanced option for defining <i>keep</i>
+ annotations.</li>
+
+<li>The <b>Return type</b> text field takes the fully-qualified type of the
+ field or fields. The type can contain wildcards.</li>
+
+<li>The <b>Name</b> text field takes the name of the field or fields. The field
+ name can contain wildcards.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+
+Similarly, the <i>keep method</i> dialog appears when adding or editing
+methods within the keep class dialog. It has text fields and selections for
+specifying and constraining methods to keep. Again, the <b>Advanced
+options</b> / <b>Basic options</b> button at the bottom of the dialog allows
+to toggle showing the advanced options.
+
+<ul>
+<li>The <b>Access</b> selections allows to specify constraints on the method or
+ methods, based on their access modifiers.</li>
+
+<li>The <b>Annotation</b> text field takes the fully-qualified name of an
+ annotation that is required for matching methods. The annotation name can
+ contain wildcards. This is an advanced option for defining <i>keep</i>
+ annotations.</li>
+
+<li>The <b>Return type</b> text field takes the fully-qualified type of the method or methods. The type can contain wildcards.</li>
+
+<li>The <b>Name</b> text field takes the name of the method or methods. The
+ method name can contain wildcards.</li>
+
+<li>The <b>Arguments</b> text field takes the comma-separated list of
+ fully-qualified method arguments. Each of these arguments can contain
+ wildcards.</li>
+</ul>
