Agreed. If you see what is possible now with for example jamvm and different profiles/chunks of the core library from GNU Classpath you can see that you can get as small or large as you want: http://www.aqute.biz/2005/10/osgi-on-slug.html http://planetmarrs.xs4all.nl/site/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=14&Itemid=1 This is one of the "hot topic" on the GNU Classpath mailinglist. How do we define "bundles" so people can more easily mix and match precisely those core library parts they want. See the discussions on http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/classpath/ if you are not yet subscribed. Maybe we could use something like OSGi bundles for this. But the core libraries are pretty interwoven so there is a lot of dicsussion what the right approach is. Cheers, Mark
