how to thin out XAMMP Portable and define start/stop order for embedded servers?

Hi all,

First of all, congratulations, guys!

Over the last 2 years I have grown very fond of several apps I found here!

I was looking the other day for a way to make JBoss Application Server portable so I could send a client a sample of the JEE system I'm working on so he can run on this desktop without having to install and deploy the database sql script and the application.

I found XAMMP here and was gladly surprised to find a Tomcat plugin for it (again gratz, guys!). Since I only need a MySQL and Tomcat (a portable JBoss AS would really be nice too!), how can I thin out XAMMP so it gets lighter?

Also, upon plugging in the USB stick, I can make it autorun XAMMP, but how can I specify the order of services to be brought up?

Thanks in advance,
