Well the sapi sdks are 500mb to. One thing that I noticed that ever since java6.0 sun conciders it as a core componant, so you can't uninstall it. you can delete the machine manually after updating to the next version although risidual bits still remain. I then do a repair on the java access bridge. Although I can't seem to run native java programs because the standard jre runtime interface is graphic, sun java rendered in websites is real accessible and stable.
