Depends on the connection speed of the laptops. 700KB is pretty tiny, so that shouldn't be a problem unless you're using some dreadful dial-up mechanism. As far as jar sizes go, that's pretty much limited by the zip file handling code built into the JVM - usually 32 bits for file sizes (haven't looked in the latest 1.5 JRE to see if Sun is now using 64 size fields in the zip library). Remember that the rt.jar that comes with the JRE is 36 MB... - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
