The oro jar 77k in size (a good deal smaller than all of the JavaScript support libraries that get loaded in Web pages these days) Usually, if you're sensitive to the size of a jar file, you repackage your application to use only the essential classes. There's nothing preventing you from removing unused classes from the commons-net (based on your commons-user email) and oro jars. However, the oro classes are used by the FTP listing parser. All that said, if you do a checkout of the trunk of the oro svn repository and compile the source with 'ant jar' you will find a number of jars, two of which will be jakarta-oro-core-2.1-dev-1.jar and jakarta-oro-perl5-2.1-dev-1.jar. I do not believe commons-net uses anything outside of that. The first jar is 12k in size and the second is 28k. You can make the second one smaller by removing the org/apache/oro/text/perl classes and the first one smaller by removing the classes with 'Engine' in their names. Based on your commons-net email, you appear to be using only FTP. I'd suggest removing the bsd, nntp, ntp, pop3, smtp, and tftp packages from that jar and creating a new jar including all of your app dependencies to avoid multiple downloads since you're concerned about download times. However, since you mentioned in your commons-user email that you're using Java WebStart, downloads are a one time cost because of the application caching. Also, with the caching mechanism, it's better to use separate jars so that individual jars can be updated without requiring the entire application to be redownloaded. daniel -#-#-#-#-| Sleep and The Traveller |-#-#-#-#-#-#-#- http://www.savarese.org/ In distant lands, I hear the call of my home. # s a v a r e s e Yet my work is not done.
