          Description

          The IGB installer is around 100 Mb. This is a lot to download. Can we make the installer smaller and speed up download times for users?

          One possibility is that we are packaging source code files with IGB. IGB is open source, but we don't need to include source code with the installer because source code is available in other ways.

          Task:

          • Unpack the master branch installer, including library jars such as the genoviz SDK jar.
          • Check to see if java files are getting included.

          If the source code is getting included, or you notice other things that are not strictly necessary, make a new "task" ticket to remove the unneeded content.

          Goal: Reduce the size of the installer by removing unnecessary content, such as source code, which is available in other ways.

              I analysed the installed app and figured out that out 250 MB, 190 MB was used by jre and around 57 MB by igb jar.
              And also the jar does not contain any source java files.

              Thank you for looking into it. The jar file is very lightweight - thank you!
