I was looking on the web for some java obfuscators and was wondering
what the list thought of the freeware version vs a purchased one. I
don't mind playing for one if it is clearly better than the freeware.
Here is the list I saw on the google search engine... Any thoughts from
you experts ?

* Jshrink by Eastridge Technology.
* Neil's Obfuscator.
* HashJava.
* Jobe.
* ShroudIt by LNK (60 day evaluation copy available).

Thanks !

We use JCloak at work, and have had fine results with it.

Some of those are dead. See Obfuscator in the Java glossary for a
more complete list.

I tested it briefly for use as a squeezer - by squeezing a few
JARs that had already been compressed using other tools.

I was impressed by the extent of the further reduction in size.

Congratulations.
