Is it possible to create custom bundle for Kernel install?

We’re actually going to be holding off on the custom bundle plan, for a lot of reasons, both legal and technical. Instead in the first Java Kernel release you will be able to specify a list of the additional bundles your particular program requires, and then they will all be downloaded ASAP as your program starts. Even without this list being specified Kernel should give a very reasonable user experience. Java Kernel will be (again, in the first release) on the order of 4MB for most applications — which, while still bigger than your 1MB application, is at least a far cry from 14MB. Obviously reducing this number still further is an ongoing area of research within Sun.
