Aspose.Words for Java throws exception when obfuscated by proguard maven plugin

Aspose.Words Product Family

Hi there,
I’m getting the following exception when the build has proguard to offuscate the code:

java.lang.Exception: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sun/imageio/plugins/gif/GIFImageMetadata
at com.aspose.words.internal.zzND.zzZ(Unknown Source)

Without proguard, it works fine. Is there any special config that should I add to proguard config?

Thank you.

Hi @tahir.manzoor,
I have an application which is obfuscated by using this maven plugin:

If we run the app without obfuscation it works fine, with proguard is throws an exception when I add an GIF imaged to the document.(Word doc in this case).
It seems that with obfuscation the class com/sun/imageio/plugins/gif/GIFImageMetadata is not imported/loaded to classloarder.

I think, you can resolve the problem with the following ProGuard configuration. Hope this helps you.

-keep class asposewobfuscated.** { ; }
-keep class com.aspose. * { *; }
-dontnote asposewobfuscated.
-dontwarn com.aspose.

Same problem.
Could this be a classpath/classloader issue?
