Which JRE for P133MHz?

[Eino Komsi]

Hi,

I'm going to distribute a Java application as a Windows stand-alone
application. So, I'm going to include a JRE in the zip-file.

The target environment is Pentium 133MHz with 32M memory.

QUESTION:
Does JDK 1.1.8 fit to the target environment better than J2SE 1.4? I
mean, does 1.1.8 need less memory/cpu than 1.4?

ps. I used AWT instead of Swing so that performance would be better.

thanks, EK

Always take the latest version of software, because lots of bugs are solved.
The footprint of the JVM is about 4 MB in java 1.4.2. If you haven't got
that much memory available, things will be slower, but will still work (if
you have enough virtual-memory).

Using complex GUIs will be possible with AWT, Swing will be too
cpu-intensive.
