Turns out that the jars that make up the Linux 1.4.2 JRE aren’t compressed very much.

Eg, if you unjar and rejar rt.jar, it will be significantly smaller: 23 –> 12 megs. Uncompressed rt.jar weighs in at 49 megs.

Useful if you are trying to get the jvm in a cramfs filesystem, where the max input filesize is 16 meg.

Also, you can save 7.5 uncompressed megs by dropping the server vm from the lib/i386 directory.
