Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException at com.sun.java.util.jar.pack.Driver.createTempFile(Driver.java:389) at com.sun.java.util.jar.pack.Driver.main(Driver.java:244) more details: https://gist.github.com/3109057 Thanks for the bug report, this seems to be a regression in 7u5 caused by 7143606. I've created a bug to track it:

7184145: (pack200) pack200 --repack throws NullPointerException when JAR file specified without path

If you change the command to specify a directory, say ./SwingSet2.jar then it will work as before.
