JEPs proposed to target JDK 14: 345, 361, 363, 364, 365, & 367

[Peter Firmstone]

Hello,

WRT Jep 367 Pack200 tools, I'm planning to copy the latest java 
implementation and tests from openjdk and set up repository on github 
and release on Maven Central, so the code can be maintained and updated, 
albeit at a slower pace than would be required or acceptable for 
OpenJDK, but would be sufficient for long term maintenance and 
transition.   I understand the api code will no longer be available in 
Java 14 onwards, however a URL provider should be sufficient to continue 
to allow unpacking of pack200 files.

Any advice or recommendations will be appreciated.

Regards,

Peter Firmstone.
