JRE

Hi,

I'm new into java development, and I would like to check the following: Now, if i develop a small application, that makes some simple stuff (it's size is around 100k bytes) and i want to distribute it to some users as a stand alone application, I know that the users machine should be having an installed JRE inorder to run my Java application.

Unfotunately, when i checked the size of the 1.3 JRE it is 5 M Byte in size! so is a must to force teh users to download a 5 MB JRE to run my 100K code ?

Is there a way to reduce teh amount of JRE?!

Please help.

Thanks

tamer

Yes, they must download the entire JRE. Anything is in contravention of the Sun license for the JRE.Alternatively you could write an applet. If you stick to the 1.1 APIs, your user's won't have to download the plug-in either.

but isn't there a way to reduce the big size of the JRE, because i think this is a limitation for being able to create and distribute applications to a wide range of users ...
