I found a website with a java applet that I liked a lot, so I searched "download.com" and within seconds found a java decompiler.

While this is a good thing, it also worries me. I have a Java project which I hope to put up soon. I have a lot of code which I don't want people viewing. So is there anyway to make this a little harder for people to view?

The only thing I can think of is encrypting the .class file. But then again, they'll be able to decompile my java decrypter as they can with my project.

It really doesn't seem like there's anything I can do (besides not posting it online).

I understand if there's no bullet-proof solution. However, what technique can I use to make it harder to view my code, Any ideas?
