The jre of my 1.5 build is 68M... that makes it about 2.5 times 
bigger... I guess that that's close to 600

At this point, there's the 1.3 jdk binary that's available... then 
there's kaffe. Anyway, they're slow and consume a /lot/ of memory. I 
don't think you can run a JVM with any decently complex app without at 
least 256MB to spare... Don't forget the lack of swap on m0n0wall. I 
wouldn't be surprised if the JVM ate up all of the available ram on a 
modest box and crashed it when it couldn't swap.

Anyway...
disk image >= 85MB

Memory footprint:
  md = ~95MB
  jvm = ~256MB
  apps = ~16-32MB
  -------------------------------
  total = ~400MB ram
