I don't believe it is possible. If its byte code, then it can be reversed,
and much more easily than machine code. You can run your source through an
obfuscator which magles all the classnames and variables and so forth before
compiling. I have been down this road before, trying to protect another
project from reverse engineering. I finally learned my lesson, which can be
summed up like this "You cannot win". If anyone really wants to reverse
engineer your product, break copy protection or hack it in various and
sundry ways... they will do it. The only thing you can reasonably protect
is code running on a server which you control.
As usual, just my opinion,
