Java native code compiler with swing?
- Thread starter jmhduck
- Start date
You are correct in assuming I want to compile to native code to protect code from decompilation. Apparently obfuscation isn't secure enough for the application obviously I can't go into details of exactly why.
I am wondering why the app was written in Java if this needed to be done (not my choice). Well it was probably done so as to rip stuff out of another app, the app has definately been written quick and dirty
.
It's not a number crunching thing so the small app idea wouldn't be secure enough. Do you think it would be possible to copy required Java code into the project ie just rip off any java api that is required (and not included with the Java Native Compiler). I'm not sure if all Java package source are available though.
I have found a Java native code compiler that is relatively inexpensive but it doesn't have good enough API/Swing/AWT support. It's here.
^^Hopefully the above makes some sense, and thanks for the reply dude. Do you work in software dev by any chance?

Hey Dude, sorry for the slow reply. It won't compile to 1.4 and would be a lot of work to get it to do so. This morning I just told my boss that I didn't think using the JNC would really work. I've been given some GUI redesign stuff to do for now so it's all cool for now. Although I think he mentioned that they might just get the JET software :O
