To explain again, what I am looking for is a way to protect the SOURCE CODE and CLASS FILES during DEVELOPMENT, that means only when the code is in-house. I am not talking about protecting class files distributed to the public.

Or even the finished product.
For a competitor who wants to implement what you have, coding it from scratch, based on what it does, might very well be the cheapest option.
