Hi,

I'm looking for a good Java decompiler to use in testing
the results of various commercial grade obfuscators.

I have an applet that I need to protect and am willing
to spend the bucks on a good obfuscator but I want
to be sure that some cheap, shareware decompiler
won't defeat an expensive obfuscator.

I'm using Decafe now but I don't know it's relative strength
compared to other decompilers.

I have no nefarious purpose in mind.  I just want to test the
protection applied to my own applet.

If you do not want to reply publicly here's my email address--
