Support for <stripArchives> (RoboVM 1.11)

[StefanOltmann]

Please implement support for the 'stripArchives' tag in robovm.xml:
http://docs.robovm.com/configuration.html#striparchives

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/robovm/fE_ixkLIuCc

I think this feature is mission critical for most apps as many libs come
with unnecessary ressources and this option decreased the app size.

Hi Stefan,
thanks for the report. This would be rather straight forward to implement, do you want to give it a try?

The method for stripping jars is located here:
https://github.com/MobiDevelop/robovm/blob/master/compiler/compiler/src/main/java/org/robovm/compiler/target/AbstractTarget.java#L514

The Config class to which the robovm.xml is mapped is located here:
https://github.com/MobiDevelop/robovm/blob/master/compiler/compiler/src/main/java/org/robovm/compiler/config/Config.java

You would need the necessary props to the Config class and implement the filter logic in the stripArchive method.
If you need any further assistance, drop a line or head over to our Gitter channel.

Yes, I want to give it a try. :-)

[florianf]

Great, just ask if you need some help.

please add .java to default strip list

I created a pull request #56 for a implementation that works pretty well for me. But there may be room for improvement with the regex replaces.

Can be closed now.
