Daniel,
We will not be removing Pack200 in Java 12.

pack200 is used by the Eclipse update manager a.k.a. p2. The JARed plug-ins are compressed with pack200 and put into a p2 repository. Removing pack200 will make the download (and hence install) of plug-ins much slower. Eclipse would therefore like to keep this technology. If that's not an option, then we would like that the removal does not happen before Java 13.
