I was thinking a new separate classloader containing just the Pack200 classes. We would still want to delegate to the bootclassloader for everything else. However, I doubt the Pack200 classes are by themselves in their own jar that we could just create a URLClassloader for.
This was really just an idea and I haven't really thought very hard about the details :) -Andrew Thomas Watson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 01/25/2008 11:54 AM Please respond to Equinox development mailing list <equinox-dev@eclipse.org> To Equinox development mailing list <equinox-dev@eclipse.org> cc Subject Re: [equinox-dev] [prov] Download manager support for pack200 If the Pack200 class is loaded from the VM then it will fall under the boot class loader. There is no way we can throw that class loader away. Are you suggesting that we could somehow load this class from an isolated class loader that is not connected to the boot class loader?

It seemed that Pack200's internal data was static and not cleared between each jar that was packed. So once we had packed a reasonable number of jars we started running out of memory. It could be that we had been doing something wrong. It is also possible that we could work around this by playing with class loaders (under the assumption that if the classloader was garbage collected, all that static memory would go away). -Andrew Thomas Hallgren <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 01/25/2008 02:53 AM Please respond to Equinox development mailing list <equinox-dev@eclipse.org> To Equinox development mailing list <equinox-dev@eclipse.org> cc Subject Re: [equinox-dev] [prov] Download manager support for pack200 Just out of curiosity, why do you use the external binary to do the pack/unpack and not the java.util.jar.Pack200 class? It seems to me that a fragment that is EE dependent (require Java 1.5 or higher) would be ideal here. Those who run lower then Java 5 simply would not have pack200 which is kind of natural isn't it? - thomas Jeff McAffer wrote: > right but there is the practical detail that the exe you need comes > with Java 5 or later and the licensing does not likely allow you to > ship just the unpack200 exe.
