Once again, we're back to my new little Java Web Start application.... :roll: My application has to parse some XML files so, naturally, I'm using a handful of the classes from the jar file j2ee.jar. However, I'm only using a handful of classes and that jar file is 8 megs! The jar file for the rest of my appliaction is only 16 KB. (It'll grow before I'm done, but it certainly won't be anywhere near 8 megs). Is there a way I can get the client to only download those classes that I'm using? Might it be possible to extract those classes and create another JAR file (I'm a little apprehensive about doing so because I'm afraid I might not bring along all dependent classes). As it stands now, my app takes quite a while to download and run (the first time) and I wish it didn't. You can view the app here if you'd like to see how long it takes to download and execute. (This app will request full access to your system, but this is only to allow it to open and close files - none of which you'll be able to do, since you don't have the correct files on your system. You'll get a warning because the jar files are self-signed.) *Note: This app is only a prototype so, if you try to open the wrong kind of file, it'll probably just puke. (In short, just don't tell me I have bugs in my program.)
hi Corey, u said - "My application has to parse some XML files so, naturally, I'm using a handful of the classes from the jar file j2ee.jar." but if u want to parse XML can't u use Xerces-J? that should be less than using j2ee.jar... regards maulin
