Code Obfuscators obscure syntax, not semantics.  Ditto for java -> native
compilation.  The mere fact that the code must be executable places some
major limits on how much it can be obscured.  Even encrypting the classfiles
doesn't help  - at some point they need to be decrypted and placed in
memory.

Ultimately, I believe it's far more effective to protect your IP via
contracts and legal documents than by attempting to hide implementation
details.  Just retain some rabid lawyers.  Far simpler in the long run.
