Java de-compilers have been around for ages. Java class files can be protected from de-compilation by running them through an obfuscator program, such as Crema. See this link for more information: http://www.brouhaha.com/~eric/computers/mocha.html

[Digital-X-Treme] is right. Java de-compilers have been around for years. Some one posted a big lengthy thread about obfuscator programs such as Crema, which [Digital-X-Treme] is refering to. I think it was CudaBean but if you do a search you will find it. :)

What I found funny is that teacher at school tell us that Java is a secure language...

[Dillinger4]

:o Daok.... I think what your teacher is refering to is security in the context of networking and servers. Not decompilation of compiled files.

[DaoK]

well, if you see the source you can do what you want...

But that doesn't help you in a secure environment, because the checksum on the class will be different if you've changed it.

Oh, and security through obscurity is no security at all :p
