jwenting,
Java 6 JRE does have an extremely small web server built in to support web services. But like I said, the Java 5 JRE is smaller than Java 5. All of the junk has been removed.
The Java database is about 2MB big and it only exists in the JDK not in the JRE. It's no big deal, you make it out to be this massive problem. Sun has found a way to reduce the size of the JRE while supporting new features (notice these are not new language features).
Anyway, I think your main concerns are poorly researched. If you downloaded and took a look at Java 6, you pretty much just find a faster Java 5. Chill out, save your venom for Java 7 (if that has major language changes).
