Protecting hbm files

Hi,
I've tried to find out myself how to do that but still have no clue: how to protect hbm files (descriptors of java class <-> database table mapping) by the not authorized user access? I'm writing commercial application and don't want users change my mappings. Could you please suggest me some solution?

Run them through an MD5 key generator (or equivalent) and put the keys in your java code. Check the files in your jar against the key at startup time.
