I'm sorry, i fail to see the purpose of an obfuscator for Java

Compiled java apps are platform neutral, so you'll not need to 
redistribute the sources
unless you want to. Should your customer need to interface with your 
classes, a propery
written JavaDoc should suffice.

Not that i would not want to tell you about the wonders of Open Source ...
