I had missed this...but even if you could decompile .class to .java, 
it's still nearly worthless to you because it's a bunch of JRuby 
internals calls. I suppose the important bit is what you're trying to 
protect. If it's the original Ruby code, then compiling to .class is 
certainly good enough.
