Hi Matt,
Yes, OpenJDK is very large compared to Classpath and will increase the size of the root filesystem dramatically — adding JamVM+OpenJDK is about 38MB.
If this is an issue for you, then you can certainly stick with Classpath if it is suitable for your java application. We added OpenJDK because it supports a much, much larger portion of the standard Java library and seems to have fewer bugs. But if your application doesn’t need the extra libraries and is running well with Classpath, you should be fine staying with it.
