Joe,

I wonder how effective this is and also whether IBM employs
obfuscation in the toolkit classes that have no source. I
guess that they might include some inline encrypted byte
code to discourage casual observation, but even then it
would seem possible to write code that would dump
the bytecode when the class is loaded.

Obfuscate means basically to scramble the contents of the JAR file.  In
most
cases, it involves renaming your packages, classes, methods and fields
to
something that doesn't give any clue as to what it does.  This also
tends to
reduce the size of your JAR file.

You do this by getting an obfuscator.  There are several out there.
