Hi,
I need a reviewer for the changes to remove pack200 and unpack200 from
the JDK. The webrev with the removal is at [1]. This patch is the
"implementation" of JEP 367 [2]. The patch is basically removing the
Pack200 related APIs plus its implementation plus any reference to it in
other tools like `jar`. In the case of `jar`, Pack200 was only used if
the `-n` flag was passed to the tool. I have removed the code that was
executed when that flag was passed. I have also removed all the tests
for Pack200.
Thanks,
Vicente
