What is the best way to secure your Java Code at a client? With all the decompilers out there, it is trivial for someone to decompile a class file and look at its source. I like to use meaningful names in my code so that I can understand it x number of months down the road - but so can everybody else (including clients) with a decompiler.

Lot of free code scranbler available in Market, I was trying to find a good one for our project, but have to drop the work in between, These tools change the Variable name and stuff of that kind. But i am not sure thay can be used for cose where Objects are determined at Runtime, EJB's and RMI's.
Waiting for some usefull response....
