We closed this forum 18 June 2010. It has served us well since 2005 as the ALPHA forum did before it from 2002 to 2005. New discussions are ongoing at the new URL http://forum.processing.org. You'll need to sign up and get a new user account. We're sorry about that inconvenience, but we think it's better in the long run. The content on this forum will remain online.

Protecting source code or jar file

Is there a way to protect your applet's source code from being read? Or must your source be available since it is an open project?

You can protect your source code. When you pulish/export the applet simply delete the .pde file from the directory, and unlink it from the HTML page.

Of course we encourage people to share their code - but if its an important project you can protect it.

Theres a discussion here about how its possible / allowed to write commerical application using processing:

That discussion was started by me. I plan on using Processing as a front end applet, which can be open, I guess. It's really the backend I want to protect. Thanks.
