Hi
I am developing a software which will be available for users on net.But The problem is, i have to bundle the jre1.3 along with the application.
My Application size is 1 MB
& jre1.3 is7.39 MB
Total Software Package is 8.39 MB.
I am using a InstallAnywhere for Packaging.
Is there any way to to reduce the application size so that it will be easily downloadable for users ?

Hi,
What i would suggest is do not bundle JRE with your package. Just add in the Prerequisites that Java 1.3 is required to run the following application. I think i have seen a java application that run installanywhere check first for Presents of JRE in the machine if not available then stops installations.

Why don't you take a look at the Java WebStart technology that is available at:
http://java.sun.com/products/javawebstart/
Java Webstart is a new application deployment technology that allows developers to deploy applications and allow the user to launch an application from a click of a button within a web browser.
Another webpage that you can get a relatively good documentation on Java Webstart 1.0:

Please post your questions here if you anymore doubts or enquiries.
