A good obfuscator is the only best way to protect against source code decompiling?

Are there other tecniques?

So..Do you think the best solution is a commercial obfuscator?

Anyone try some of this product?

nothing will prevent the determined ******* from decompiling anything written in any language.

In fact, the more you do to make it harder the more they'll be looking to crack the code in order to see what all those secrets are...

If you don't want people to decompile your programs, either don't ship them or rely on a good license and a well paid team of lawyers.

I agree fully with you.

I want only to prevent that a junior "*******" using a simple tool chain decompile my midlet.
