encrypted source file support in jdk?

Hi

I an wondering if anybody knows if its possible to extend the functionality of the sun java compiler/vm in jdk6, with for example plugins or similar? or if the jdk supports something similar already?

What I am looking for is to set up a jdk environment where the source code is ecrypted at the file level. This requires javac to be able to en-/decrypt the source files. For further protection, the jvm would need such support as well.

some details:

To answer the typical question first. For this scenario I am not interrested in encrytpted filesystems, because it still leaves the files vulnerable as long as the filesystem is mounted. The secrecy of the files can still be compromised from hacking, virus, trojans, skype, xss and all other sorts of system hacking. With encrypted files the information in the files are still protected, even in the case a trojan sends a file by email to somebody on the internet. Enctrypted filesystems only help protect the integrity of the local system and the disk while the system/disk is not running. Encrypted files help protect the information during use as well.

I know there are many other issues as well, I'll be working throuhg it.
here is the list of the issues of most importance:

- en-/decryption support in
- ide / editor
- compiler
- code searching tools
- disassembler/debugger
- remove excess information from class files
- how to handle static content files
- html, css, jsp, configuration files for libraries and frameworks etc
- if class files are also encrypted
- en-/decryption support in the jvm runtime, covers tomcat, jboss etc.
- possible encrypted jar/war/ear files etc
- debugger
- information about classes must also be protected from prying eyes who have obtained the class files and using the debugger to get information.
