Just make the jar; put it somewhere that ZKM can see it; tell ZKM how and what to obfuscate and optimize and ZKM will generally produce an even smaller, well obfuscated jar. ZKM has a lot of parameters to tweek to get your jar obfuscated just the way you want it.

There is an obfuscate option in jbuilder compile options so i am expecting the .Jar file (class file(s) in your view) is obfuscated when it's build. Have you tried to obfuscate with the Jbuilder ?

There is an obfuscate option in jbuilder compile options so i am expecting the .Jar file (class file(s) in your view) is obfuscated when it's build. Have you tried to obfuscate with the Jbuilder ? I believe you are mixing up some things here... 1. JB's obfuscate compiler option is very restrited and just obfuscates private symbols inside of classes and nothing more. 2. Don't mix up the JBX "Configure Obfuscator" settings with general Java app obfuscating tasks. These settings here for Retroguard/Proguard are *only meant for MIDlet (i-mode apps) programmings*. 3. If you want to try out Retroguard for your usual non-MIDlet based Java projects you can try out the JB supplied Build OpenTool example. You can find this under: "JBuilderXsamplesOpenToolsBuildobfuscator". - Additionally there is some other maybe better suited here (?) OpenTool on Borlands CodeCentral Server which makes available and uses Retroguard/ProGuard for JB projects. 4. For any serious commercial programmings I highly recommend the ZelixKlassMaster 2nd generation obfuscator, which you can use together with our JB ZKMWizard OpenTool. See: http://www.kyrsoft.com or Borland's CodeCentral JBuilder OpenTools section.

I worked out a simple method of using retroguard which might be helpful. It's simple but it works. 1. Make your .jar file in the usual way inside jbuilder. 2. Write a batch file, or script to run Retroguard to convert the .jar to an obfuscated .jar. The script is a two-liner along the lines of: set CLASSPATH=C:JBuilder9thirdpartyretroguard-v1.1retroguard.jar java RetroGuard <unobfuscated-jar-file-name>.jar <jar-file-name>.jar script.rgs the file script.rgs can contain one line: ..class * protected .... but you can insert other lines to override the default behavour.
