guava vs ProGuard: What are the differences?
guava: Google Core Libraries for Java 6+. The Guava project contains several of Google's core libraries that we rely on in our Java-based projects: collections, caching, primitives support, concurrency libraries, common annotations, string processing, I/O, and so forth; ProGuard: Open source optimizer for Java bytecode. It makes your Java and Android applications up to 90% smaller and up to 20% faster. It also provides minimal protection against reverse engineering by obfuscating the names of classes, fields and methods.
guava and ProGuard can be categorized as "Java" tools.
guava is an open source tool with 34.7K GitHub stars and 7.78K GitHub forks. Here's a link to guava's open source repository on GitHub.
