Yes, I made the effort long ago.

Pluses:
  - difficult to scavenge/analyse code
  - faster, smaller

Disadvantages:
  -  much harder to analyse stack traces you get from users, even if
you keep a map

LVL or obfuscation ?

My release builds are made command-line with ant, I only use eclipse
for testing.

There are several examples floating around of build.xml. It *will*
take you
a while to setup.

Yes, there's an 'other apps don't need no stoopid validation, why does
yours' mentality prevaling.
I used to get quite a few 1* for validation, it's slacking off now
that I can do it all in the background without a code.
