True, I think, if developers are actually producing Applets, they have a tendency to optimize them as much as possible, even un-jaring and re-wrapping all the classes they are dependent on and eliminating the classes they never use from the dependency jars. In the case of such re-wrapping efforts. In such light having the original jars compressed/uncompressed is unimportant to developers of applets.
That sounds very logical for application and server side tooling. Since we use Maven primarily to produce builds now in the Commons, I think we should look into if this can be configured in Maven so that all Commons Projects use the same strategy. -Mark On Tue, 2003-08-19 at 18:37, Wolfgang Hoschek wrote: > Would you consider generating jar files with the -0 option to store > files in the jar file without using ZIP compression? > > Although this typically doubles the jar file size, it increases class > loading performance (except when used in applets which are presumably > not that important here).
