Although you're right, its not relevant, here's some answers: 1) Not really, you can Obfuscate you code which basically means having your variables and names translated into "junk" text, or better still java keywords. This has the effect that when the code is decompiled in most cases it can't be recompiled, and moreover is really really hard to undertstand. One problem of course is that you have to maintain a mapping table to be able to handle bug reports, since stack traces will only show the "junk" names. There are a few free obfuscaters around (search google) 2) I believe this is possible, however I expect you have to grant the right permission using the Java Permissions in the java.security packages. However, I've never found this needed. It tends to make web surfers run away since they have to approve your security changes. It would seem that there isn't a mailing list open to the public for security issues. I guess its one of those things you simply search java.sun.com for.
