Hello,

The Sun jre1.5 can be installed via an online installer
with as little as 7MB download as discussed here:
http://weblogs.java.net/blog/stanleyh/archive/2005/05/deployment_unde_1.html

Is this a good way to deploy a java application for a target of home based
users ??

1 use the online installer for the jre1.5
2 use a smaller installer for the java application

TIA
patrick

if you are going to produce a CD you might an well include the entire
JVM. Home users might have no or slow Internet access.

If you want deploy Java web start on CD see
