applet

I have a Java application that I am considering releasing over the web as an applet. I am concerned about java-savvy end users being able to somehow view the source code, given that my web server would be sending the code to their remote jvm when they try to use the applet.

What precautions can be taken to ensure that end users are never able to directly view source code of an applet?

I am hoping that release as an applet might somehow protect the privacy of the code more than releasing an application with downloadable jars that the user could just unzip. Is this true?

It does work within applets, but I'd like to do some things differently, depending on whether or… >>> More
