You can build the jar of class files and then distribute. But it is still possible to decompile it.

Or you can strip of all the code in functions and other private members in all classes. You can then distribute these source files.

I am not aware of any automation tool which can help to strip the code for you. But you can use javap command which can generate the skeleton for each class.

In the IDEs I'm familiar with, the primary code assist comes from introspecting the class files, I believe. Then if there's a doc directory, the IDE can reference the corresponding javadocs. Source code would be optional.
