Java Code Obfuscators

Java Obfuscators protect the original source code.  The Java ByteCode can be De-compiled to Java Source Files.  When De-Compiler de-compiles the obfuscated code, the result Java source code is in non-readable state.

Open Source Obfuscators:

• ProGuard -- Free Obfuscator.  Detects and removes unused classes, methods, fields and renames to short meaningless names.
• JODE - Optimizer for java.  The optimizer transforms class files in various ways, controlled by a script file.
• JavaGuard -- General purpose bytecode obfuscator.  This can fit into the regular build config files
• jarg  - Java Optimizer
