Proposal for a pack200 bundle
For non-Maven users, it may be convenient to download the whole SIS
library, including dependencies, as a single JAR file. The pack200
format is a relatively efficient way to perform that task, but I'm not
aware of a standard Maven plugin for generating that bundle. I have the
necessary code that I can port. Is there any object to add one more
custom Maven plugin in our "sis-build-helper" module for generating a
pack200 file?
If we generate such file, one open question would be where to put it for
download. Before SIS release, Jenkins provides a place for snapshots.
But after SIS release, we may need a better location...

Seems close. I will give it a try, thanks for the tip. However I didn't
found mention of pack200...

Hey Martin,
Gotcha. Would this Maven plugin (maven-shade):

es.html
Produce what we are looking for?
Cheers,
Chris

I think we are already creating OSGI bundles (as far as I understand
them, but I did not tested yet). But in my understanding, OSGI bundles
are basically JAR files with more information in their
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF entry... The Pack200 "bundle" I was thinking about
is more like a "fat JAR", but with better compression. The Pack200 tools
is part of JDK/JRE.

Hey Martin,
Why not do an OSGI bundle with Apache Felix? There is a Felix
Maven plugin, pretty easy to use (see Apache Tika, which uses it :) ).
Cheers,
Chris
