Really Small Java Apps
I thought this article would be about something like <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_4K_Game_Programming_Contest" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_4K_Game_Programming_Conte...</a> but it's more appropriately "Really Small JVM".<p><i>For a simple project requiring java.net.http, using these steps produced a 23MB jlink image</i><p>23MB may seem tiny today, but depending on what that "simple project" does, in absolute terms it's still twenty-three <i>million</i> bytes. For comparison, a full installation of Windows 3.11 is roughly that size too, <i>not</i> compressed. As the saying goes, "there's still plenty of room at the bottom."
