Excelsior JET 5.0 Slims Down Java SE Runtime

Excelsior JET 5.0 introduces Java Runtime Slim-Down, a new deployment model that may help you significantly reduce the download size of Java SE applications. With it, you may exclude certain components of the Java SE platform from the installation package, namely AWT/Java2D, CORBA, JDBC, JNDI, JSound, Management, RMI, Swing, and XML, provided they are not used by your Java application.

This release also delivers a major performance increase over the previous versions. As measured with two standard benchmark suites (SciMark2 and SPEC JVM98), the composite scores have improved by a factor of 1.7 compared to Excelsior JET 4.x.
