Creating Java Files

Compiled Java class files may be uploaded to the LiveCompare server and used as input for the Create Java Impact Report action. Java class files may be uploaded individually, alternatively one or more Java class files may be uploaded from an archive in ZIP format. Java files are uploaded to the <LiveCompare user data dir>\public\JavaFiles directory.
