How to reduce Jersey-Client footprint

[António Mota]

Hi again.

Now my applet using the Jersey-Client is working quite well, however with
all the Jar dependencies is now above 100Mb... Is there a way to reduce
this size, besides removing the jars one by one and see if it works?


Cheers.

Hello,

100 MB? That definitely doesn't sound right, Jersey client dependencies
shouldn't have more than 3MB in total.. depends on what do you need, but
in most common cases it should work with jersey-client and jersey-core.
You might want to add jersey-json and jackson libs if you are processing
json, but even that is maybe like ~5MB ..

Can you post list of your dependencies? (mvn dependency:tree)

My mistake, it's about 15Mb, not 100... and that includes another big lib
I'm using, ICEpdf and dependencies, and my own code of course.

Nevertheless too big, I'll have to bring that down.


Thanks.

$ ls -alh
./trunk/jersey/jersey-client/target/jersey-client-1.12-SNAPSHOT.jar
-rw-r--r-- 1 pavel staff 127K Dec 12 10:28
./trunk/jersey/jersey-client/target/jersey-client-1.12-SNAPSHOT.jar
$ ls -alh ./trunk/jersey/jersey-core/target/jersey-core-1.12-SNAPSHOT.jar
-rw-r--r-- 1 pavel staff 451K Dec 12 10:28
./trunk/jersey/jersey-core/target/jersey-core-1.12-SNAPSHOT.jar

so 576kB in total. And there is some opportunity to shrink it (excluding
some classes from jersey-core). You should be able to create something
like "jersey-client-repackaged-bundle" which would contain just classes
for your specific purpose..

Our of interest I ran pak200 on the 1.8 jars I have handing around and it got it down to around 140kb for both, might help with your other dependencies.
