My company (read: I) develop an web-based educational application (a
language lab) implemented as a Java applet.

I have spendt the summer porting it to Clojure.  I am very happy with
the results.

Except: The download (and therefore the download-time) has increased
dramatically, as I now include the clojure.jar as part of the
download.
(Actually, I repackage the content together with my application.)

This, I fear is going to hit alot of the pupils hard, when 20 pupils
at a time attempt to access the applet for the first time over the
mediocre (at best) web-connections at their schools.

Yes, I do manipulate the java applet cache-params.
But There will always be a need for full downloads - both for first-
time-users, and when I update the applet (frequently).

My question:
Is there anyway to reduce the size of the jar - drastically?
Can I somehow remove most of the class-files generated from core.clj
etc, and still have everything working properly?
Tips/hints/suggestions?


(Plug: See my open-source JS-embed code for Java applets:
