Hi thanks for the reply Andrew.

"If you are getting differences after unpack, you may not actually be using
pack200 conditioned/normalized jars, or something went wrong in that
-repack  normalization step."

So I am finding differences in the jar sizes ( pre and post pack )


I'm fairly certain that I am using pack200 conditioned/normalized jars,
since they were built with the "-repack" option.

>>What type if things could go wrong in the -repack/ normalization step.

The contents of the jar should be bit-wise the same, so the only difference
between pre & post pack (for a previously conditioned jar), if any, would
be in the format of the jar itself.  Differences could be, for example, in
size & crc information for a given zip entry appearing before or after the
entry itself.  I'm not sure that these differences would amount to a size
difference for the jar.

In the case of nested jars which are checked against their containers, we
do need the jars to be bitwise the same even in jar format.  For this
reason, the jarProcessor in eclipse does an additional "normalization" step
which is different from the pack200 -repack conditioning.

If you are getting differences after unpack, you may not actually be using
pack200 conditioned/normalized jars, or something went wrong in that
-repack  normalization step.

Should the size of the jar ( Normalized and signed jar ) be the same
pre-packand post-unpack ?
