Category: Compact Profile

Compact Profiles are reduced versions of the Java runtime environment (JRE) that do not contain the usual full contents of rt.jar.

 

Benefits:

• Faster Java Virtual Machine (JVM) startup times
• Reduced resource consumption
• Removal of packages that, in hindsight, shouldn’t be in the core
• Improved security, because removing unused classes reduces the attack surface of the platform
• Convergence of the Java ME Connected Device Configuration (CDC) with Java SE
