Moreover, there are applications such as SourceGuard from 4thpass Software
which can encrypt your class files so that looking at the reengineered
source is
pretty well pointless. This app can also, with careful use, decrease the
size of classfiles
quite considerably.
However, as the saying goes, there is no such thing as 100% security. But
you can
make things as hard for people as possible if they want to do things like
this.
