I don't know how big Classpath is but I know Kore is far smaller.  :)
However, Kore is only JDK1.0 compliant.  I do recommend it as a
stepping stone to more full featured class libraries at a later date,
though---its good enough to run Javac on, for example.  The other nice
property of Kore is that there are few native methods and they are all
grouped together in a nice, simple static-native-method-only
package-private classes.

The .zip file is 214K uncompressed.  There are about 160 files in
Kore.  It includes java.lang, java.net, and java.io.  I have a local
version that has a few fixes w.r.t. v0.0.7 (the last public version).

The homepage for Kore (embarassingly out of date) is 
        http://www.cs.utah.edu/flux/java/kore/index.html

Let me know if you've got questions,

Pat
