The j2se, j2re and java file/directories are all for various versions of Java.
Rather than deleting particular files it would be better to remove whole packages, so for instance your list mentions Java, if you are not using Java then the Java packages could be removed. To find out which Java packages you have run:

# pkginfo | grep -i java

Once you have the package names you can see what files those packages install by running:

# grep <javapkgname> /var/sadm/install/contents | grep " f "

I would suggest that you chmod the Java package's files to 100 (or zip up) first and leave it a while make sure nothing breaks!

Another possibility is that if you have Solstice Disksuite installed and only use it in command line then remove the graphical interface package and if you are not Japanese then remove the Japanese localisation, they being:

1 SUNWmdg Solstice DiskSuite Tool
(sparc) 4.2.1,REV=1999.11.04.18.29
2 SUNWmdja Solstice DiskSuite Japanese localization
(sparc) 4.2.1,REV=1999.12.09.15.37

These would be removed by running:
# pkgrm SUNWmdg
# pkgrm SUNWmdja

Core files are obviously worth removing:
# find / -type f -mount -name core -exec rm {} \;

The files you list mentioning ssh are for SSHing from this machine to others and the files called sshd are for SSH'ing to this machine so if you not use SSH these can be purged, from a security point of view you should leave ssh and remove telnet, rlogin, rsh, etc instead! Solaris 8 does not come with Sun supplied SSH so they may not be in a package.

The file /usr/sadm/lib/wbem/store mentioned is part of the Web-Based Enterprise Management software, if you don't use then again remove the packages not particular files.

/usr/openwin/lib/llib-lX11.ln is part of the X11R6.4 Lint Libraries.

install-solaris(1M)													       install-solaris(1M)

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris	invokes  the  Solaris  Install	program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       For x86 machines:

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.

       install-solaris	exists	only  on  the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the  for more
       details.

       install-solaris allows installation of the operating system onto any standalone system. install-solaris loads the software available on the
       installation media. Refer to the  for disk space requirements.

       Refer to the  for more information on the various menus and selections.
