SelfExtract-Pro

SelfExtract-Pro is an application especially created to help you and others work with self-extracting archives in JAR file format. With it you can zip and/or unzip JAR files in a simple and straightforward manner.
The application enables you to create self-extracting archives which can be used in the same manner as a EXE file. Their contents can be extracted to the current location or anywhere you choose on your hard drive.
SelfExtract-Pro comes with a user-friendly interface which makes it easy to handle by anyone who understands the basic principles of creating an archive from files. Its main window is comprised of two sections from where you can choose the task you want to perform, meaningly zip or unzip files.
From the Zip tab you are able to add and view the contents of the future archive and set its properties. You can make it a self-extracting JAR archive that has no expiration limit or one that only works before a date you specify. Apart from that you can also add a password and make sure that unauthorized people dont have access to the documents inside.
When creating a new zip file, you can set the application to ignore empty directories or to write them. It’s important to note that using SelfExtract-Pro you can create and use both standard ZIP archives and those in JAR format.
Clicking the UnZip tab automatically brings up a window which you can use to browse your computer and identify the zip file you want to unpack. Once you open the archive with SelfExtract-Pro, it displays all the items it contains so you can make sure that the file you are looking for is there.
