Can JDK1.5+ share any class data between JVM process

Hello,

I have to create 20~100 JVM client application on my server, each client application have 100M jar packages and use 600M memory. I've heard the JDK1.5 support class data sharing feature, so I want to use it. But went I use the -XShare:dump option in a JRE1.6 to dump the class data, I always got a file with size of 12.5M in my directory of "jdk1.6.0_01\jre\bin\client\classes.jsa". Can this 12.5M file share class between JVM?

The class data sharing feature in J2SE 5.0 (aka JDK 1.5) applies only to classes from rt.jar on the bootclasspath (i.e., JDK classes). That dump file is shared between JVMs on the same machine.

We are looking at extending the feature to allow application classes to be shared, but there are no definite plans at the moment.
