Java Plugin examples

The plugin archives are installed automatically, when the .zip is entered or double clicked in Total Commander.

DiskDirCrc

As the original DiskDir plugin, DiskDirCrc creates a list file with all selected files and directories, including subdirs. You can then “navigate” this list with Total Commander as if it was an archive or directory containing the files.

DiskDirCrc also calculates the CRC of the files and writes them into the index file. CRC is an error-detecting code commonly used in digital storage devices to detect accidental changes to data. DiskDirCrc can then check (Alt+Shift+F9) the integrity of files comparing the CRC in the list.

JavaDecompiler

This plugin allows Total Commander to both decompile and navigate java .class files. It is a packer plugin, meaning you can “enter” these files as archives.

But… a .class file is not an archive, is it?

It is not, .class files do NOT contain other files. However this plugin “hacks” the TC packer interface so that class files appear to be archives containing all of:

In the screenshot, on the left panel we have entered to a .class file. The sub-directories contain members of the class. Decompiled class is viewed on the right panel.

The plugin uses CFR 0.152 decompiler as a library, so it does not need any extra executables or processes.

Have you ever being checking what’s inside of a lot of documents such as PDFs or .doc files, spending a lot of time waiting for a new Acrobat Reader, MS-Word or Whatever-program to open, just to close it and continuing the process?

Have you ever wondered what a particular file contained and wanted to take a look at its contents, not having the associated application to open it?

This plugin allows TC to show a very quick text preview of almost every file format.

The packer version of the plugin allows Total Commander to very quickly “enter” (ctrl + pgDown) docs as if they were archives or folders.

In that “simulated folder” you can see at a glance:

This info is shown as file names, so that you can have a very quick preview, and then if needed extract to a file or view the complete document’s metadata or contents.

Original examples by Ken Handel

Now, every java plugin work as an independent (no need to install javalib.tgz) 64-bit plugin in TC64. They still work in TC32.

See the 64-bit update comment columns. You can also check the list of changes.

All samples by Handel have been cleaned from extra libraries, repackaged and are available at he links below.

Each plugin has a README.TXT with additional notes and included source code in each *.jar file.
