It is mindblowing indeed ! The evident question I then get from someone
that has severe space limitations is : why does such a small program
need to have all these classes linked in. I would answer ... since much
of it is looked up with reflection. However you said reflection is
disabled, so now I'm confused :-/

No, it because the basic class library is very interconnected.
java.io is tied up with java.util which is tied up with java.text
which is tried up with internationization.  Even "hello world"
ends up referencing a lot of classes, even without reflection.
