[cdt-dev] CDT and Pack200

[Marc Khouzam <marc.khouzam@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I saw from this report [1] that CDT does not use Pack200.  Pack200 [2] is a jar compression tool that should make our downloads smaller and maybe our builds too.  I just found out it even existed.  

Is there any reason why we are not using it? Or is it simply that it was never looked into?

I can look at enabling that packing if there is no known issue for CDT.

Thanks

Marc
