A quick question about the "Customer JRE"...

... or whatever they will call it.

The concept is that we will have a Java core ("kernel") with a small footprint (a few megabytes) and the runtime will be able to download other parts of the JRE. My question: where is the boundary of the "downloadable stuff"? Will be available only the set of JARs that is today in Java 6?

I think that it would be a good thing if also extension APIs (such as JAI) and some de facto standard APIs such as JOGL will be available.
