Daniel, We will not be removing Pack200 in Java 12. -Michel On Jun 12, 2018, at 1:50 PM, Daniel Megert <daniel_meg...@ch.ibm.com> wrote: pack200 is used by the Eclipse update manager a.k.a. p2. The JARed plug-ins are compressed with pack200 and put into a p2 repository. Removing pack200 will make the download (and hence install) of plug-ins much slower. Eclipse would therefore like to keep this technology. If that's not an option, then we would like that the removal does not happen before Java 13. Dani Eclipse PMC
