Secure java source code

Hi all,
I've been writing Java/Swing/JDBC-application for a company on their
request.
Now, I would like to publish my application. I simply want to publish
the application, NOT SOURCES !!!! What would be the easiest way to
secure my source code? Ive understand that class/jar-files can be
reverse engineered back to sources. Compilation to "native win32 .exe"
seems to be buggy? Any suggestions ? Freeware tools?

Thanks in advance

Try RetroGuard. It obfuscates your jar files.

Hope this helps,
