Hi hoop;

I use yGuard. It integrates with netbeans, and it automatically obfuscates
the jar files that netbeans produces - works great! And it's one of the
better obfuscators I've seen. It's very.. interesting.. to see the
obfuscation it produces. It's far more confusing than mere "a b c"
obfuscation.

I could post examples of how I set it up if you like.

You need ant, netbeans, and yguard properly installed. Then,

1. Create this file in your project directory, modifying the filenames where
you need to:
filename: obfuscate.xml
content:
"
<project name="Netwhack" default="obfuscate" basedir=".">
<description>
Netwhack build file
</description>

<target name="obfuscate">
<taskdef name="obfuscate"
classname="com.yworks.yguard.ObfuscatorTask"
classpath="c:/java/yguard/lib/yguard.jar"/>

<obfuscate mainclass="Netwhack" logfile="log.xml">
<inoutpair in="netwhack.jar" out="nw-dist.jar"/>
</obfuscate>
</target>
</project>
"

2. Create a task in NetBeans (File > New > Ant build scripts.. ant task or
something)

3. Link this to a button in netbeans (I forget if this is automatic, but you
can look it up in netbeans help) so all you have to do is build your JAR in
netbeans and then click on the button you linked the custom ant task (the
file in #1) to.
