Java SE (Java Platform, Standard Edition)

Hi,

I'm new into java development, and I would like to check the following: Now, if i develop a small application, that makes some simple stuff (it's size is around 100k bytes) and i want to distribute it to some users as a stand alone application, I know that the users machine should be having an installed JRE inorder to run my Java application.

Unfotunately, when i checked the size of the 1.3 JRE it is 5 M Byte in size! so is a must to force teh users to download a 5 MB JRE to run my 100K code ???

Is there a way to reduce teh amount of JRE?!

Please help.

Thanks
