Thanks Igor for your detailed reply. Currently I am working on 1.4R3 build,
The smallest build I created is 119K Jar file (Obfuscated) and 206K
uncompressed class file (Obfuscated). I have removed classfile, tools,
regular expression, java adapter, and some java native implementations.
The basic interpreter is still working. I didn't remove liveconnect because
I need that in my implementation. My goal is to build a script engine on
J2ME, so right now it is still a little big for me. Now I am trying to go
through every file to see if I really need it.


Regards,

James
