By default, the JDK installation process creates the class data-sharing file with the name classes.jsa. The default location of classes.jsa is as follows:
- Solaris/Linux/macOS: /lib/[arch]/server/classes.jsa
- Windows platforms: /bin/server/classes.jsa (as shown in the following screenshot):
The size of the shared archived file, that is, classes.jsa, is approximately 17.2 MB on a Windows system.
