In any case, while I might agree Java is fairly trivial to disassemble, I'm one that argues so is any other language. Do you really think you'll take the time and effort to go look into a module before installing it?
Well no, as a general rule I wouldn't.... but now that you've made it a challenge..... ;-)

Your no doubt much better at such things than me, if you feel assembly is easy to reverse. Admittedly, I've only tried it a few times when I was teaching myself from a book, so it's not something I've ever practiced, but I find it quite difficult to keep track of everything on that low a level. Java-byte code on the other hand is kind enough to maintain a lot of the original programs structure. Make is much easier for sissy amatuers like me

You mean, the version from that site doesn't contain the all exclusive iWIN button? Oh my.... I think I made a boo boo.
