The problem is that there is no way to get a minimal ubuntu/gnome desktop, only the regular one with all kinds of software (open office etc.) pre installed. You can remove this software, but I don't know how far to go. It takes some time experimenting. I've played around with this quite a bit and I always get about 2 gig of disk space. Without java, this could be 1.5 or so. Installing such a vm (vmware based) takes about 10-20 minutes, including all vmware hacks. So this is the smallest part.
