The gnu.* packages are mostly implementations of things that are
required for the ordinary java.* packages to work correctly. For

Size reduction has come up a number of times. Nobody has a great
solution. Depending on what you are trying to do, static linking
might work. There are caveats to doing that though; see the list
archives for details.
