A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
I used applets technology in my application to build internet sites. Because of clients that visit a site may not have jre installed on their pc, I am planning to use html converter to start automatic download of sun jre plugin if it is not present on pc.
The problem is that even if I use only core api and AWT in my applets, the jre download takes too much time because jre includes all packages.
Is there a possibility to download only some packages (or core api) of jre ?
How can I make a custom installation of jre ?



JUSTIFICATION :
This enhancement is necessary, to avoid users to wait too much time for jre download and to have a custom java runtime.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
I would like to see only core java packages to be downloaded with plugin. Other packages may be automatically downloaded later if used by applets (on demand).
ACTUAL -
Actually all packages are included in java plugin so the jre download takes too much time.
