Well,
Can this conversion happen on the UC. Once we have a frontend for that.
Also as of NB. We shall just warn the user, that the NBM he/she would
like to install is with pack200 and shall provide a description how to
convert that (using an old JDK) or starting NetBeans on Java 11.
I would discourage the automatic conversion including a now 3rd party
tool in the codebase.

It is Apache Netbeans which is on the list.
The IDE/Platform is updated/updating to newer Java it’s how to handle the
legacy plug-ins that I’m concerned about
Its the independent plugins which leverages pack 200 / unpack during plug-in
install.
Presently there is issue (1) in work for this but it didn’t seem clear to me at
first why it didn’t handle the use case of unpacking existing pack200 in a
newer JDK environment but I’m guessing one of the pack200 forks may be the way
forward.

Is your "massive project" listed at
https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/quality/Quality+Outreach ?
Can you share some of the problems migrating from JDK N to JDK N+1? We
understand that JDK 8 to 9 (or straight to 11) can be tough, but
migrating from JDK 15 to 16 should be straightforward.
