Hi Tim,
a) Indeed this could be something for the VM to decide. When 'deploying' the VM I would like it to be as small as possible as well. So if leaving out (unnecessary) code is possible, I'm happy to do that. Although I'm not planning to wrangle out every little byte to safe space.
b) True as well. But that would probably also prevent the VM itself to read/write to the filesystem which is not what I want. I might (at some point) include a plugin which does some very specific file I/O. At least for logging purposes. But this is not decided yet.
I'll have a go with compiling the VM without specific plugins and have a look at the SecurityManager.
Cheers, Erik
