Java and avoiding software piracy?

Hi,

Im *hoping* to release an application that I developed in Java, and I
want to release a free version as well as a pay version.

Clearly I want to be able to avoid people cracking it, or creating key
generators... Although i know that it is unlikely to actually stop
them entirely.. I want to do as much as I can to ensure that IF they
want to crack/keygen it, that it will be as difficult as possible.

Please let me know what your thoughts are as to how to achieve this.
Strategies? Resources?

Please send them my way!

Thanks!
