Re: [eclipse.org-architecture-council] JEP 336: deprecate pack200

[Mikaël Barbero <mikael.barbero@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Also, as one can see from the history of the pack200's spec (https://docs.oracle.com/javase/10/docs/specs/pack-spec.html), it had to evolve a couple of times to follow the evolutions of the class file format. 

So by maintaining pack200 support, we're not only talking about maintaining an implementation of the spec, but also the spec itself to follow future evolutions of Java... and my guess is that it's an order of magnitude harder.

jmod is unspeced and can be different from jdk release to jdk release so a jmod from Java9 might not be readable in jdk11.

Looking forward to you suggestions.

My suggestion is the one in the 1st part of the mail and is actually a question.

Do you know whether there is a compression engine used for jmod that's standard and reusable and could be an alternative?
