A footprint is occupied space. A desktop PC's footprint is the number of
square inches it takes up on your desk. An application's disk footprint
is the space taken up on the disk by the installation. Its memory
footprint is the amount of memory consumed in running the application.

Java has a large memory footprint -- just running a trivial app eats up
many megabytes of memory.
