Question: how to exclude certain classes from deobfuscation

[ghost]

Is it possible to exclude certain classes from deobfuscation? If so how? I was unable to find any documentation on this. Additionally, what is a -path file for the method normalizer? What is that file supposed to have in it?

Excluding certain classes from deobfuscation is not possible via any configuration setting.

What you could to is manually split the jar you have up into two. 1 contains the classes you want to deobfuscate to be used as input, the other one with the classes you want unchanged will be added to the path. Afterwards you copy contents from jar 2 to the output jar manually. (jars are zip files)

path refers to a list of libraries (including the java runtime library rt.jar) to be specified as seen on the bottom here: https://github.com/java-deobfuscator/deobfuscator/wiki/Getting-Started

Background info: The - of -path refers to the old system where everything was on the command line and not in a config file.

I have the rt.jar and my libraries added, and other transformers work fine, but when I use the MethodRenamer transformer it gives me this:

** DO NOT OPEN AN ISSUE ON GITHUB **
Could not locate a class file.
Have you added the necessary files to the -path argument?
The error was:
com.javadeobfuscator.deobfuscator.exceptions.NoClassInPathException: com/google/common/io/LineProcessor

    at com.javadeobfuscator.deobfuscator.Deobfuscator.loadHierachy(Deobfuscator.java:569)

is It looking for some sort of list of names to rename to?

So do you have guava in your libraries?

[ghost]

now it wants com/sun/jna

[ghost]

now net/minecraft/launchwrapper

[ghost]

how many does it need?

[ghost]

is there a list somewhere with all the jars that are needed? I have like 8 libraries added plus the rt.jar path
