Especially for creating applet jar files it is necessary to downsize them.
A way to do it is to put only necessary classes into the destination jar.
You can manually look for dependencies or use some wrong hack how I do
(see here: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=ant-user&m=97289549619998&q=raw
Another alternative may be the JAX tool from IBM alphaworks or a tool which should exit within jini, I don't know.
But it would be very convenient to have such a task within Ant, maybe based on the <depend> task.

Subject: and finally - <shake/>...
[ Double-click this line for list subscription options ]
Has anyone thought about or come across a predicate/piece-of- code
that could do this :
<shake outputjar="yyy" classpath="ccc">
<shakeroot name="com.mycom.MyServlet"?>
<shakeroot pattern="com.mycom.MyDynamicallyLoadedClass*"/>
</shake>
where shake figures out which classes all the shakeroots depend upon
and copies these and the shakeroots into the outputjar.
This would drastically reduce the size of some of the jars that I
ship.
I could take 3rd party jars that I consume, break them open and do
this by hand, but it would be nicer to be able to do it at deployment.
If I am dynamically loading classes, then I would have to mention them
as shakeroots before I shake !
Anyone care to comment,
Jules
