1. Project Description:
Helicon System Analyzer - package for gathering information about system variables, directories structure and involved files, contents of JAR / ZIP files.
This system is irreplaceable tool for all developers!
This is both graphical interface and command line tool that creates HTML documentation and ZIP file about the system information and directories', jar/zip contents and files' structure.
This program can be used by all developers that creates the program for customers. Your client can run this program on his computer and send the result in ZIP file to you. And you'll receive all information you want. The client could run this program locally or remotely throw Internet.
You can use this program in research
of information about some project. You can found all information about
your installed directories, files, JAR's and other files for some
project. You can found all files that are located in some direcotries
and see their properties (size, data created). You will see all repeated
files that are located in some directories and could check appropriateness of
their location and version (for example: not well-defined jar-files with some
name).
If you don't want to show defined directories, files and files with some extensions,
you have an opportuny to hide them from other people. Also you
can presets the data for different field of reseach (for example: Jakarta-Tomcat,
JDK, Websphere, Jakarta-ant).
Also you can found some packages or files in JAR / ZIP files and see the repeated packages in other folders. It very helpful for Java programmers to find the some bug because of repeated classes or packages.
You can define pattern match ('*' and '?'') for all searching files.
You have an opportunity to run Helicon System Explorer under Window and Linux.

The parameters are (interface mode):
| Parameter name | Function |
| directories |
the name's of directories.
|
| onlyDirs/Files | to show only these directories, files (and in archive files like jar/zip) |
| exceptDirs/Files | to show without these directories and files |
| outputDir | the name of output directory and output file |
| create zip-file with results | to create zip-file with output HTML files |
| showProgress | to output information into console |
| presets | to preset the data for different field of reseach |
| searchArchive | to search in archive files like jar/zip files |
| sort | to sort searching folders and files |
1.2.You can run the program with parameters.
The parameters are (console mode):
| Parameter name | Function |
| -d or --directories |

| -sp or --showProgress | to output progress information into console |
| -h or --help | to print the help |
For example:
a)HeliconSystemExplorer.bat -d "c:\test;c:\testDir2" -ed "*lib;hel?*.*" -od c:\outputDir -sp -cz
b)HeliconSystemExplorer.bat -d c:\test -ef"*lib; bin" -od c:\outputDir -cz
The output will be HTML document and ZIP file with the information about
system environment, the directories' structure and files.
