"The Kernel JRE's installer includes jvm.dll, the other native files and hundreds of classes needed to boot the JVM, the Java Plug-In, Java Web Start, java.exe, javaw.exe, javaws.exe, the installation code, and various support libraries needed to support the installer (such as unpack200).

        And it's only 1.9MB.

        If you build a custom bundle containing the classes required to run a typical Swing program, it comes out to about 1.5MB, for a total download of around 3.4MB for the JRE + custom bundle. Bigger programs might use as much as 4MB-5MB of the total JRE size, but it would be rare to exceed that.

        Compared to the current JRE's size of somewhere between 10MB and 15MB, depending on how you measure it, hopefully you will agree that this is quite an improvement."
