Re: [equinox-dev] [prov] Download manager support for pack200

[Jeff McAffer <jeff@xxxxxxxxx>]

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.  But that is a matter for someone's legal team.  As 
John says, the unpack support simply cares whether or not the exe is 
there. 

What we really need is an open source implementation of unpack that runs 
on/with Foundation...
