[jira] [Commented] (NETBEANS-2842) Using of deprecated pack200 tool
in nbm packaging
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-2842?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17408078#comment-17408078 ]
Peter Firmstone commented on NETBEANS-2842:
-------------------------------------------
Hello Eric,
You'd have to check whether it compiles and passes tests. It's a bit
more ambitious, the project attempts to preserve both the C and Java
versions of Pack200, it's forked off JDK14. I'm sure Emmanual would be
happy to receive some assistance if anyone would like to.
I only looked at maintaining a Java implementation. From my
observations, Apache Harmony's pack200 had the most maintainable code,
but doesn't yet support the latest features. Last I checked Emmanual's
version didn't yet build, however that may have changed.
I created three repositories,
1. Apache Harmony based Pack 200.
2. OpenJDK Pack 200.
3. Apache Harmony, including the tests from OpenJDK.
The OpenJDK pack200 implementation uses the jtreg test suite, I have
left the tests unmodified, the OpenJDk Pack 200 code builds and passes
all tests.
The Apache Harmony version doesn't yet pass all OpenJDK pack 200 tests,
however the Apache Harmony code is easier to modify, so will be easier
to update to support later bytecode.
Regards,
Peter.

> Project: NetBeans
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: platform - Plugin Manager
> Affects Versions: 11.3
> Reporter: Benjamin Graf
> Priority: Critical
>
> Netbeans plugins are mostly compressed in size by the JDK internal pack200 tool which is deprecated since JDK 11 ([https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/336]). It should be thought about an alternative as it might get removed in next JDK releases.
