In this section we want to give an example on how the codesize of you Java application can be minimized while negative effects on the run-time performance are avoided. As a small example application we use Pendragon Software's embedded CaffeineMark (tm) 3.0.
This application can be compiled using the Jamaica Builder. The resulting executable file is fairly large, more than 1.4MB in our example.
