In a word, no - disk space occupied by class files has no correlation with memory consumed by a running application. Class files are primarily composed of the constant pool and byte codes, whereas the vast majority of memory used by most Java applications is taken up by dynamically created objects, which is highly dependent on application logic. You really can't estimate memory use with any degree of confidence without actually running your application, using various loads and forcing garbage collections to occur. Given the low price and ready availability of memory these days, this really shouldn't be much of a concern. Of course, it would be possible for some monstrous app to exhaust the per-process virtual space provided by your OS... - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
