Description malcolm davis CLA 2007-05-22 13:58:40 EDT 
Is there a way to compress the files with another algorithm for deployment?

I tried Pack200 compression on several of the libraries that ship with the ReportEngine. There was various level of success.  modelapi.jar compressed from 1.62 MB to 336 KB. com.ibm.icu_3.4.5.jar went form 3.16 MB to 2.14 MB. Secondary deployment tools can do compression, however Pack200 is part of the Java since 5.0.

Java 5 uses Pack200
