By definition the applet code runs on the client, so you simply cannot
stop people from downloading it!
Any kind of obfuscation/protection is doomed. If you can run it, you can
trace it and decompile it.

Hello all,

I'm currently developing a Java applet and i want to protect the .class from being downloaded.
It's very easy to download the .class file..just check the HTML code and get the class name wich will be loaded..then 
with a download program you can get the class file and decompile it to get the source code.
The real objective is to protect the source code from the html and not so grabbers.
Any idea to protect the html/java? 

Best regards,
