✦ Synopsis

Java class files can be transmitted more efficiently over a network if they are compressed. After an examination of the class file structure and obtaining statistics from a large collection of class files, we propose a compression scheme that is tailored to class files. Our scheme achieves significantly better compression than commonly used methods such as ZIP.
