jBitcollider: the Java Bitcollider

jBitcollider is a Java version of our Bitcollider utility.

This is an 'alpha quality' preview release for advanced users. (If you have not previously installed Java and launched standalone Java applications from the command-line -- and perhaps even if you have -- you may run into problems using this version.)

Advantages

  • Processes files larger than 2GB in size.
  • Offers the graphical interface, and drag-and-drop Bitcolliding, on non-Windows systems for the first time.
  • Improves reliability of submission via browser

Limitations

  • No installer.
  • No Windows 'shell' integration. (No right-click option for "Bitzi Lookup".)
  • Slower.

Requirements

You must already have Java 5 (also known as Java 1.5) installed. You can check if Java is installed by executing 'java -version' at a command line. (This applet may also help, though it only checks the Java support available to the browser, and jBitcollider runs outside the browser.)

Java be obtained from http://java.com if necessary.

Download

One ZIP file includes jBitcollider (and all source code):
jBitcollider-0.8.zip from Sourceforge

Usage

Expand the downloaded jBitcollider-0.8.zip file. In the resulting directory, execute the appropriate run script (run.bat or run.sh) for your system.

To analyze files, either drag them from your desktop and drop onto the jBitcollider window, or click the 'browse' button and use the file chooser. Results will be submitted to Bitzi via your default web browser.

Bug Reports & Discussion

Please report bugs via:
Sourceforge Bitcollider project bug tracker
Use the category 'jBitcollider (Java)' and provide a clear explanation of what behavior you expected, what buggy behavior you saw instead, and anything you tried to resolve the issue.

jBitcollider may be discussed at the Bitpedia project discussion list or blog post announcing jBitcollider.

License

Like the original Bitcollider, the source code for jBitcollider is released into the public domain, free for all uses. (jBitcollider does include 3rd-party open-source-licensed libraries that remain subject to their respective licenses.)
