Bug in build script?
The xerces.jar that is included in xerces-J-bin.1.0.2.zip was built with
compression turned off. Is there a reason for this or an error in the
makefile? With compression turned on, the resulting xerces.jar is almost
half the size!

And in JDK 1.2 it helps too... I noticed a slight reduction of the
startup time of the VM when i unjarred all compressed jars and rejarred
them at 0%...
I have quite a huge class library (2.5 megs in my /jre/lib/ext) and I'm
saving almost 1 second since I use uncompressed jars...

This is to make the Jar files work in the CLASSPATH of all
1.1+ JVMs. It's better than requiring the user to extract
the contents of the Jar and then re-jar it.
