We're using J9 from IBM. (Websphere Micro Environment)  The first thing 
I did was remove all the source code.  Next, I removed all the class 
files for the profiles we were not using.  (We are using the Foundation 
profile, J9 also includes a CDC, CDLC and MIDP profile)  Then I went 
into the bin directory and figured out what libraries I needed.  I only 
included the libraries necessary for runtime, I removed all compile 
libraries.  Using this method I was able to trim J9 from about 30 megs 
down to about 5.
