New J2SE Release

I've heard about a new Java Release which is optimized concerning the size of the J2SE SDK Platform file.

The current file is about 51 MB big including a lot of languges. I'm searching for a smaller file (5MB) which only contains one supported language or even 3 specific languages.

At the moment I use J2SE v.1.4.2_05 SDK, but the download file is still available in multi-language

--> Windows Offline Installation, Multi-language (j2sdk-1_4_2_05-windows-i586-p.exe, 51.09 MB)

On our clients we use Java Webstart to install this java package. Now we want to gain performance in our network by using smaller files adapted to our required languages.

I'm very thankful for any help or reference where I can find something about this topic!

Language support is not what makes the JRE big.

Note you probably don't need the SDK, but only the JRE.

Maybe you're refering to the class data sharing technology which optimizes the memory footprint:
