title: Is there a possibility for smaller JRE / packaging Java software for Softgrid
body: <p>My Java program is being distributed as a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Application_Virtualization" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Microsoft App-V</a> package (also known as Softgrid) on a customer. The JRE size is causing some headache, being quite large when distributed over slower connections (the App-V seems to cause the Java package to be included with the distribution and not as a zipped distribution but as a uncompressed, installed package). </p>
  
  <p>Is there some possibility to have a smaller version of the JRE or something?</p>
  
  <p>Or if somebody has good ideas on the distribution of the JRE with App-V package that could be fine also. (even though I don't have straight influence to the packaging) Come compression should be available but it doesn't seem to have so much effect.</p>
