    Subject: Java Applet Source Code protection

Hi,
I would like to know more about the Java applet security issue.
What I found from the books are mostly about the applet is safe to
client local system, it will do no harm to local system. And what I
would like to know is the source code protection, how secure is the
applet? can an applet be reverse-engineered some how? IF yes, how can I
prevent it. I am working on a applet that taking a JAR file and cab files
as parameters generating some spreadsheet like information to perticular
user. I am wondering if somebody would be able to reverse
engineer the applet? And how safe is the internal data?
Hope someone can provide me some hints. Thank you
