Thanks in advance.

Try using Google to search for "java obfuscation".
You should be able to find something to help you.

Another option is to encrypt the class file and then decrypt it "on the fly" by modifying classLoader. This tutorial got me up to speed on classloader pretty quick. (You will have to register for the pleasure).
It is worth saying that this will not work the same for an applet, security restrictions will prevent you from messing with classLoader, but it should work fine for an application.
