I suspect your values are in error Mark.
Figures for rt.jar's either side of 1.4.0
I have handy show the following sizes..
1.3.1 - 11,646,454 bytes
1.4.2_02 - 26,429,417 bytes
14 Meg sounds about right for 1.4.0.
Mind you, as I pointed out earlier,
the 1.1.8 VM* was much smaller than
the MS effort.
* Which is a fair comparison, given
that the MS 'J'VM never went beyond 1.1
As an aside, I was checking download sizes
of plug-ins recently and found that the
MS .NET plug-in was 27 Meg at the time,
and the latest Sun 1.5 beta rt.jar is
..31,971,302 bytes!
[ And note, these are the rt.jar files
which only contain the core classes, I
checked them using WinZip. ]
