Vicente - the webrev looks a bit incomplete, e.g. it misses 
test/jdk/java/util/jar/Pack200, make/launcher/Launcher-jdk.pack.gmk, and 
several make files. Maybe you are splitting up the removal into multiple 
patches?? If you can, one webrev with everything would be best, then 
send it to at least core-libs-dev and build-dev for review.
