smaller than J2EE? I dont know about J2EE but in general Java is huge.

Inferno may look huge because it gives a lot of things like fonts, emu fo=
r
variour platforms, native kernel source for various platforms, graphics,
networking, security, and the compiler and other utilities.

in any case, i used to think size of inferno also will increase in size
considerably if it implements (completely) all of what java has
implemented (but still, inferno will be short and sweet!).
