I don't want to spend months on a java application, only to have
a competitor run a java decompiler on the byte code. How do I
prevent this?

This is my primary concern with Java. I'm reluctant to start
coding a serious Java application until I feel confident that I can
product my code.

Any info on this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
