There are plenty of existing threads on this newsgroup about
obfuscation, I suggest you do a Google search.
HTH,

Ok, but there is no method for making the reverse engineering of your
java code hard? I thought that a good obfuscator should do that...
Is there any way to protect a java code against who wants to crack it?
There are ways to make it "less convenient" to crack it, but no way to
make it impossible. That's where copyright and EULA come in, it doesn't
make it impossible either, but it does make it illegal and it gives you
legal recourse.
In either case, there is always a chance that someone, somewhere, will
reverse engineer your code and use it in ways you don't want. The only
safe code is unreleased code. If you can make it a client/server
application, than put your precious protected code on the server side,
and don't let anyone have access to it.
That approach may not be cost-effective for your needs, but it is the
only 100% safe solution.
