Harmony just announced the availability of their implementation of unpack200 available for 1.4. We should look at providing it as one of our processing step. Below are some info that I got on the Harmony ml about their unpack200 implementation: Pascal Rapicault wrote: > This is really exciting.

Cool -- let us know if you have any problems (or successes <g>). > I have a few questions: > - Does this implementation run on a 1.4 VM? It should. It is compiled with the 1.4 source flag (so there are no uses of generics etc), but it is compiled against our 5.0 libraries, so I suggest you recompile it against a 1.4 JDK to check there are no uses of 5.0 APIs that need fixing. > - Is it easily consumable independently of all of harmony?

We should also investigate if we can use the pack200 as well. The jarprocessor currently exec's the pack200.exe. If I remember correctly we had memory issues when using the pack200 api directly. Hopefully these issues won't exist with the harmony implementation.
pack200 is not yet available.
Similar bug 161865 was closed as "won't fix", and suggest we do the same for this one. If anyone disagrees, feel free to reopen.
