Java SE Runtime can be toned down with Excelsior JET 5.0
Filed in archive Programming by gautam on June 22, 2007

Thousands of standard API classes and a number of method libraries and data files are included in Java SE implementation but a number of APIs are not used at all therefore Excelsior JET 5.0 leaves out certain portions of Java SE platform from the installation package bringing down the download size and disk footprint. Since Java SE is a monolithic
platform a question might come to your mind as to how a licensed Java SE implementation could allow removing parts of the platform and still remain compatible? The solution is that when an installer is built for optimizing application a secondary package containing detached Java SE components is built automatically. The package is placed on a web server accessible to end users and in case an application attempts to access the detached components the secondary package will be downloaded and unpacked during runtime.
