We recently worked on an upgrade from 11.2 to 12.2. This made us think about the environment and the options we needed - or not needed. So we tried to setup the environment with a minimum amount of options. Why? simply because we don't need these components and will never use them in the future. And, as Mike Dietrich states - and I agree on him, future upgrades will run faster.
Default, we get a whole bunch of options installed. But the following gave us a small environment, with XML and JAVA only.
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbca -silent -createDatabase -responseFile SMALLDB.rsp
This SMALLDB.rsp responsefile looks like (no, these are not my passwords or db name).
responseFileVersion=/oracle/assistants/rspfmt_dbca_response_schema_v12.2.0
gdbName=SMALLDB01
databaseConfigType=SI
createAsContainerDatabase=false
templateName=SMALLDB.dbt
sysPassword=PassWord#123
systemPassword=PassWord#123
dvConfiguration=false
olsConfiguration=false
dbOptions=JSERVER:true,ORACLE_TEXT:false,IMEDIA:false,CWMLITE:false,SPATIAL:false,OMS:false,APEX:false,DV:false
datafileDestination=/data/oradata/
recoveryAreaDestination=/data/fra/
storageType=FS
characterSet=AL32UTF8
redoLogFileSize=400
listeners=LISTENER
initParams=db_recovery_file_dest_size=200G,processes=1400,sga_max_size=8G,sga_target=2G
What we need, is to setup the template in $ORACLE_HOME/assistants/dbca/templates/SMALLDB.dbt .
You can do this with a graphical dbca, or copy and change an existing template. Note that the important part is in the 'CommonAttributes'. Where we use dbOptions in the responsefile, these options will be not-activated (v$option shows them as FALSE). But the components get installed. If you want them to not be installed, you will need to put that in the template file as shown below.

Let the dbca run, which took me some 20mins. After that, I only manually de-install the Oracle Workspace Manager:
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus -s "/as sysdba" @?/rdbms/admin/owmuinst.plb
Now we have the following installed, which is just fine for our environment:
SQL> select comp_id, comp_name from dba_registry;
COMP_ID COMP_NAME
--------- ----------------------------------------
CATALOG Oracle Database Catalog Views
CATPROC Oracle Database Packages and Types
JAVAVM JServer JAVA Virtual Machine
XML Oracle XDK
CATJAVA Oracle Database Java Packages
XDB Oracle XML Database
6 rows selected.
If you skip JAVA as well (in your responsefile and template), you will get only CATALOG, CATPROC and XDB (after removing OWS manually as seen above). That is the minimum you can get.
