Hello,

This draft JEP[1] proposes to deprecate the pack200 APIs and tools in 
the JDK.
As outlined in the JEP,  the usefulness of this technology have 
diminishing returns,
the components using them are being removed and connectivity speeds
have improved by leaps and bounds, since its inception.

Thanks
Kumar
