Summary

Does FlexNet Publisher provide a Java obfuscator?

Question

Is there a tool similar to the FlexNet preptool for C/C++ in the FlexNet Java toolkit that would obsfucate symbols?

Answer

You need to run your Java application and components through an obfuscator to avoid symbol collisions (as well as add a layer of security). The lmstrip utility is available for our C/C++ toolkit, but FlexNet Publisher does not include a built-in tool for obfuscating the Java binary's symbols. My understanding is we don't provide one because there are so many obfuscators already available.
