You're reminding me of a thought where I said to myself, "oh gee, we need to not forget to ...." :) I had that thought as well and it escaped me. Do you want the honors of filing the ticket so we don't forget to create TAR.GZ files for TomEE 9.0? I think the answer here is simply that the Eclipse Transformer might not support that format. If we added that capability we might still not want to use it because that would double the time it takes to do the bytecode processing. The right answer here might be to add that capability to the TomEE Patch Plugin and have it output a ZIP and TAR.GZ in parallel. If we made it smart enough to set the right execution bits on the *.sh files, it could work fine. Thinking out loud. -David
