That seems to be a number so extreme as to be highly questionable. Are they talking about the size of the Java Byte Code or are they talking about the the total size of the entire Java environment necessary to run a "Hello World" app? The former is really hard to believe and the latter might be a bit of an unfair criticism. (Would a "Hello World" app written for Windows have to count all of Windows as part of its "footprint"?)
